Men’s question: how to remove the second chin for a man

The problem of the second chin worries not only women. Modern men pay attention to their appearance no less than the weaker sex, and for many a double chin becomes a cause of insecurity and discomfort. Let’s try to figure out why this aesthetic flaw appears and how to remove it.

Causes of the appearance of a second chin in men

The second chin is a problem beyond gender differences. It can appear in both women and men. In both cases, its presence often causes discomfort, dissatisfaction with one’s own appearance, which affects the quality of life. There are quite a few reasons for the appearance of a second chin, but they all follow from one another.
  • Posture disorder. We have already written about how and why this happens in this article. And even despite the fact that in the material we described the causes of the appearance of a second chin in women, all of them are also directly related to men. Do you know everything about men’s skin?

  • Genetic predisposition. There is no escape from the hereditary factor. If your relatives have a fat fold on the chin, most likely you will also have it. But special exercises and competent care will help neutralize the problem.

  • Overweight. The crease under the lower jaw is an ideal cell for fat deposits, and under their weight, the skin also sags – the same double chin is formed.

  • The natural aging process. With age, the synthesis of collagen and elastin slows down, which leads to loss of skin elasticity and becomes a trigger for the formation of a second chin.

  • Insufficient work of the lymphatic system. The habit of sitting hunched over, walking hunched over, constantly looking at gadgets with your head down, provokes deformation of the muscles of the cervical region, which leads to their spasm.

It is impossible to determine one main reason for the appearance of a second chin in men. Its occurrence is most often influenced by a complex of reasons. But you can use your will to minimize many of the factors listed above and draw up a competent plan to combat this aesthetic defect.

Simple actions will not take much time, and the effect of them (subject to the regularity of the procedures) can be seen already a couple of weeks later.
