Can Face Yoga Fix a Double Chin?

The internet has a workout for everything—including your jaw. Move it this way, stretch your neck, repeat daily and supposedly your double chin disappears.

Why it is not that simple

Face and neck exercises may work the muscles in that area. They do not guarantee that your body will selectively use the fat stored under your chin.

Fullness under the chin can be influenced by overall body fat, genetics, ageing, skin laxity and jaw structure. Someone can be relatively lean and still have it.

Take a wider view

• If overall fat loss is appropriate, focus on your full routine.
• Support that routine with meals, movement and sleep.
• Do not assume every double chin is a weight problem.
• Speak to a qualified clinician before considering cosmetic treatment.
