Ever looked at your profile and think there must be something growing under your chin? 

Has the “growth” progressed beyond a tiny hangy-down thing?

 Is it the dreaded wattle and is it absolutely detracting from your good looks?

 Grab your mirror and see what is happening with your profile.

 Does your neck appear youthful or does your neck make you look matronly or even elderly?  

 Do you wear a turtleneck year round or try to hide your appearance with scarves?  If so, you might be interested in knowing that this condition probably isn’t exactly hereditary and why you have this challenge.

 Your neck supports the weight of your head.  So if your neck and shoulder muscles are weak, your posture is affected by this weakness; this weakness can make your head position look strangely aligned and this look contributes to the look of old.  This condition is easily seen when comparing photographs of a person throughout their lifetime; the neck and upper back seem to be affected by aging as the shoulders round and the upper body loses its definition.

Oh great – in addition to an old looking neck and chin, I bet your face is showing your age, too.  Right? 

A face and neck that is losing its youthful look can sap your confidence and even produce sad feelings as you say good bye to vibrant, toned and tightened facial features.  Feeling like this can “speed up” the process as you smile less and notice deepening lines and downturned mouth corners.

What to do?  Surgery?  Is surgery the best choice for a more youthful face and neck?

No, in fact, surgery should be the very last thing to consider if you want to have a younger looking appearance. 

Cutting perfectly healthy tissue in the name of beauty means your face or your neck will never look the same. 

Witness post-surgical photos of women and men – usually celebrities – who unsuccessfully try to buy back their youth.  They can afford the very best in cosmetic care but most look like they’ve been subjected to wind tunnels, unnatural torture methods and strange contortions in the name of beauty and health.  Even after spending tons of dough, they’re stuck with a face that friends and family wonder why they messed with Mother Nature.

These results can be very unappealing as the nose tips continue to drop and the Cupid’s bow is splayed after repeated lip injections.  Usually we see the facial features pulled tightly in directions that do not appear natural at all.  How and why in the name of beauty does this happen?

Linda Wells – Editor in Chief, Allure Magazine believes the cosmetic surgery trend is toward “Relatable beauty”.   What does that mean?  Will surgeons stop cutting and suturing?  Will men and women look toward more natural methods to look younger and healthier?

“The idea is that we all want to look the best we can _ that’s the purpose of beauty products _ it’s not to look like a model but it’s to look like your best self.”      Ellen Degeneres – Cover Girl’s new spokesperson.

Beauty products that come from the tip of a syringe or a scalpel always have side effects.  Sometimes these side effects can become permanent disfigurements.

Reliable beauty is attained when only natural means are used.  Like exercise.  Exercise works for the body and exercise can work for the face.  Not contortions or scrunches or contortions but tried and true resistance exercise with contraction movements will enhance the facial features.

Facial exercise will change your face from the inside out.  In just days you will see eyebrows lifting, while cheeks lift and smooth; your lower mouth, neck and even the dreaded wattle will look noticeably improved.  Consistent exercise will help you look ten to fifteen years younger in about twelve weeks.

This safe, sane method of enhancement saves you money and keeps you from harm’s way.  Without the threat of embarrassing flubs, you can naturally improve your looks using your thumbs and fingers in white cotton gloves.

Throw out the turtlenecks, says goodbye to the wattle and “hello beautiful” to the new you!

When you closely examine your face what is the biggest detraction or the neon light that calls attention to your facial imperfections?  Is that looming chin – the dreaded wattle – tops on your list?

Double chins can occur even when you haven’t gained an ounce but wearing an extra roll of flesh can make you look pounds heavier.

Covering your body when your waist, tummy, arms or hips are expanding is a type of camouflage most girls learn at an early age.  We can wear slimming clothes that detract from the actual challenges of gaining a few pounds; now with spandex undergarments, we can easily hide and disguise bulging waistlines or less than thin thighs.

Just as you see aging in other areas of your face such as hooded eyes, sagging cheeks and folds along your mouth, these are all indications that the once tight muscles hidden beneath your skin are now losing their firmness which results in a look reminiscent of your elder relatives.

It is not that you do not love and cherish Great Aunt Hilda or Grandpa Joe, you just do not want to look like them now.

Facial flaws are a distraction.  They can make us appear older than our years and this saps our confidence whether we are in the dating scene, updating our resume or interacting with others. 

Wearing a double chin cannot be disguised with turtlenecks or scarves.  A double chin cannot be concealed with makeup or other cosmetic preparations.  Double chins are a result of muscle atrophy.  That’s right – muscle atrophy as in no activity.

If the wearer is not overweight what is the remedy? 

Liposuction for a double chin is one choice but spending thousands of dollars for an iffy procedure fraught with risks, bruising, swelling, lumps and bumps and temporary benefits may not seem likely for the discerning person.  In addition you would want to consider that numbness and nerve damage, puckering at the incision site and scar tissue are lingering aspects associated with this procedure.  

Liposuction after all goes after the fat but what if you have very little fat but a lot of sagging or bulging? 

Sculpting a wayward chin with isometric exercise is a safe alternative and the results become noticeable quickly.  Why?  The underside of your chin and into the neck is comprised of a broad, flat muscle called the platysma.  This large muscle acts like any other muscle that is not sufficiently exercised – it droops and sags as it slowly pools into other muscles and easily collects deposits of fat. 

If the area under your chin feels soft, not toned or taut or you see an enlarged mass when you look at your profile, without a doubt, this is the start of a less than youthful look. 

Sadly, over time, the entire face begins to soften and elongate. 

You can prove this to yourself by placing a mirror flat on the table while bending over from the waist looking down into the mirror.  Gaze at yourself for ten seconds to see just how dramatically soft your facial muscles are.  I warn you, it is a scary look that alerts you that your facial features are losing their contour because the muscles that support the skin are no longer in great shape. This atrophy causes the look of old.

Fortunately, atrophy can be reversed and those tiny facial muscles can indeed grow stronger while your skin receives added nutrition from oxygenated blood that is created when you exercise your face.

Facial exercises that shorten, tighten, lift and contour your muscles are not contortions, twists or puckers; rather facial exercise that can help you look five, ten even fifteen years younger are a result of isometric with resistance type contractions. 

Thumbs and fingers and cotton exercise gloves are all that is required for you to take charge of your aging face.  Step-by-step you can begin to expertly manipulate your facial muscles so they respond easily to the movements and in just minutes a day you will feel and see the lifting and contouring.

Your sagging cheeks, droopy eye lids and double chin will show great improvement as the results last longer and longer.  Your face will look and feel toned and tightened, your confidence will soar and before long you will challenge your friends to look in the mirror lying flat on the table.
