How to Lose Fat Around the Face and Under the Chin

Facial fat develops from several factors, including being overweight, soft facial muscles, genetics or simply getting older. There is no surefire way to lose fat around the face and under the chin that will work for everyone, but there are a variety of options from which you can select the right method for you.

Instructions

1. Work on full-body weight loss if excess facial fat is a full-body problem. Simply adding regular exercise three to five times a week for 30 to 60 minutes, cutting 250 calories a day and eating more fresh fruits and vegetables should help you to drop a pound or two a week. While everyone is different, most people notice facial fat is the first fat lost.

2. Drink plenty of water each and every day, taking in about two glasses for every 50 pounds of body weight. Not only is water essential for your body to function properly, it also helps to flush toxins, which can cause swelling in the face and other parts of the body.

3. Perform facial exercises that work to strengthen and firm the muscles of the face, chin and neck and can help you lose facial fat. Activities like yoga and Pilates are perfect. However, there are also many exercises directed just for the face.

4. Cut back on foods that cause fluid retention, particularly salt and alcohol. Reducing your intake of salt and alcohol is a very positive dietary choice that will show great results in your skin and fatty tissues.

5. Consider a more drastic approach if these natural techniques are not helping you to lose fat around the chin and face. Cosmetic surgery procedures have come along way and often only require a few hours in a doctor's office for the procedure and short recovery times after. Speak to a cosmetic surgeon about thread lifts, liposuction, tucks and other procedures that can help you to look and feel your best.
