The
excess weight around your face and neck may be due to an accumulation
of fatty deposits around the chin area and neck. Causes may include
general obesity, water retention or aging.
A cosmetic surgeon can
remove facial fat by performing liposuction, but many people cannot
afford—or would prefer not—to "go under the knife."
Less intrusive methods are available to help reduce fatty deposits in
the neck and face.
Excess
fat around the neck is not only unsightly but also can be an early
sign of obesity. Because of its proximity to the face, fat in the
neck area can lead to problems with self-esteem.
There's no way to
target the neck, or any other area of the body, to remove fat
specifically from that area.
But you can exercise the neck area to
stimulate muscle growth that will help burn the surrounding fat more
efficiently than before.
Neck Stretch
Lift
your head from your chest and stretch your head back as far as
possible, stretching your neck out. Stretch
your head back looking at the ceiling and go as far back as you
comfortably can.
Keep
your mouth slightly opened while you do this so
you feel the muscles in your neck stretch and tighten. These
are the platysma muscles of your neck and chin.
Hold
this position for ten seconds and then bring your head back into its
regular position.
Repeat
this exercise several times a day until you’re able to do it at
least 10 times daily.
Lip Pull
Stand
with good posture with your head in its natural position. Push
your jaw out and lift your lower lip as high on your face as
possible.
Hold it in that position for 10 seconds, then relax. You
should feel the muscles directly underneath your chin stretch a bit.
And
you will REALLY feel this in your jaw and jawline! Do
this 10 times every day.
Chin Pull
To
do the chin pull, start off with your body and head in its normal
position.
Then,
raise your chin and pull it upwards as far as it can go. You
should feel the facial muscles pulling in your throat and chin.
Hold your chin in this stretched position for 10 seconds and then
relax.
Repeat
this exercise 10 times, as usual.
