With winter's cozy comfort foods, cheeks may plump up (charmingly so), but a stubborn double chin often follows. Add post-lockdown relaxation, and it's time to take charge. While some swear by contouring makeup and others opt for surgery, the double chin remains a top concern. TikTok videos on "how to get rid of a double chin" garner hundreds of thousands of views, with Google searches for the topic surging over 5000%. Discover our 7 proven techniques to eliminate your double chin.
To bypass unreliable online advice, InStyle consulted Dr. Mona Gohara, a dermatologist, and Dr. Sheila Nazarian, a plastic surgeon. From clinical treatments to simple home practices, banish your double chin for good. For professional results, consider Kybella injections to dissolve fat cells or CoolSculpting, which freezes fat for your immune system to eliminate naturally. At home, build a routine with antioxidant serums and Gua Sha massages to firm and contour. Caution: Sudden neck swelling may signal swollen lymph nodes or thyroid issues—see a doctor immediately.
