There are several different things that can cause you to have a double chin one of which is heredity.

This can explain why some people can be heavy without having a double chin and others can put on just a little weight and end up with a double or even more dreaded a triple chin.
The other two causes of a double chin are obesity and lose muscles.

Unfortunately once you do have a double chin it will take a while to get rid of it. This article on how to get rid of that double chin goes over several options from exercise to chin liposuction and cosmetic surgery.

Difficulty: Moderately Easy
Instructions
  1. Step 1

    Eat healthy:
    Losing weight and eating a healthy diet can be helpful in eliminating a double chin. But even after losing weight you may most likely find that you also need to tone up.

  2. Step 2

    Do face exercises:
    Although it's unlikely that you can get a non surgical face lift. There are several things that you can do to help tone up your neck and chin. This simple exercise is very helpful in eliminating a double chin. Just pull your lower lip up over your teeth and move your jaw up and down almost as if your are trying to scoop something up with your jaw. Do three sets of ten repetitions. To see results this should be done 2-3 times a day.

  3. Step 3

    Consider chin liposuction:
    If all else fails and the look of your chin bothers you that much you might consider cosmetic chin surgery. First the surgeon will make a small incision under your chin. And then the extra fat will be removed using liposuction. This is usually preformed when you are receiving a neck or cheek lift.

  4. Step 4

    Reshape the jawline:
    If may also be necessary to reshape the jawline with a chin implant. Cosmetic chin surgery reshapes the jawline by using a silicone chin implant. During the surgery an incision may be made either underneath the chin or from inside the mouth.

Tips & Warnings
  • chewing gum can also help give your chin and jaw a workout.
  • Chin exercises take a while to work, so results will not be visible right away.
