This double-chin workout tones your neck and stretches your chin and jaw muscles, helping them relax and strengthen simultaneously. 

Here’s how to do it:

  • Sit or stand up straight and keep your back straight.
  • Drop your head back and look towards the ceiling.
  • Tuck out your lower jaw so you can feel the stretch.
  • Hold for 10 seconds, then relax.

  • Push your head backwards and look upwards at the ceiling.
  • Stretch lower jaw forward, then hold for 5 seconds.
  • Stretch the lower jaw to the left, then hold for 5 seconds.
  • Stretch the lower jaw to the right, and then hold for 5 seconds.
  • 10 repetitions on every side.

Chin Tuck Exercise

Chin tuck is one chin exercise that engages deep neck muscles, improving overall tone. 

To do chin tucks:

  • Sit or stand with good posture.
  • Touch your chin lightly with a finger.
  • Pull your head and chin back, creating a deliberate double chin.
  • Hold for 5–10 seconds.
  • Repeat 10 times.

  • Hold for 5 seconds, then release.

  • Continue for 5 minutes.
  • Do it twice a day.

  • Slowly rotate your neck in a circular motion.
  • Do 10 clockwise and 10 counterclockwise rotations.

  • Open your mouth wide.
  • Stick out your tongue as far as possible.
  • Hold for 10 seconds, then relax.

  • Look at the ceiling by titling your head backwards.
  • Press your tongue against the roof/palate of your mouth.
  • Hold for 10 seconds, then relax.
  • Repeat 10–15 times. 

10. Wide Mouth Stretch

A wide mouth stretch is also known as ‘a lion’s roar’. This workout for double chin exercises your facial muscles as well as your chin and neck muscles. 

To do it:

  • Open your mouth as wide as possible.
  • Stick out your tongue as far as you can.
  • Hold for 10 seconds, then relax.
  • Repeat 10 times.

Do Double Chin Exercises Really Work?

While there’s no solid scientific proof that chin exercises alone can eliminate a double chin, many people find them helpful. Studies suggest that targeted exercises can improve muscle tone and skin elasticity, making the area appear firmer. However, results take time and consistency.You may undergo non-surgical treatments if you want a quick and real-time fix. 

Quick Alternates to Exercise for Chin

These non-surgical treatments instantly remove the submental fat, leading to a sculpted neck and jawline that you desire. 

1. Fat Freezing

Fat freezing removes the fat cells under your chin by exposing them to cold temperatures. Over time, the body naturally gets rid of these fat cells, reducing a double chin.

2. Laser Neck Lift

It is an amazing alternative to double-chin exercises. A laser neck lift tightens loose skin and reduces fat under the chin. It also improves jawline definition with minimal downtime.

3. MyEllevate Neck Tightening

This is a minimally invasive treatment and it involves a suture suspension technique. It lifts and tightens the neck area, defining the jawline. This treatment provides a long-lasting definition without the need for surgery.

Now You Know How To Get Rid Of A Double Chin Naturally

Performing double chin exercises regularly and staying consistent with the routine may help you get rid of double chin naturally. Whether you do a straight jaw jut, pucker-up, cheek swishing, neck rotations, tongue stretches, or neck stretches, all chin workouts focus on your jaw, chin, and neck muscles. 

However, consistency and time are required to notice the effects. The good news is that various treatments, such as laser neck tightening, fat dissolving injections, and MyEllevate neck tightening, provide long-term jaw and neck sculpting without surgery.

Book a consultation, and you will be one step ahead in your journey to achieving a defined jawline in your selfies.
