Fat under my chin

DASANI22 · 12-10-2006, 10:32 AM

I have a little bulge of fat under my chin is there any way to get rid of it without PS. Its not a double chin but I want my face to look real thin from the side view and have my chin real flat with no fat. Can I exercise it off with lowering my BF or is it impossible. I'm still a little fat at 160 lbs 5'9 I'm probably 16% BF.

Yup.

Diet, lift, and cardio to lower your overall BF.

topical yohimbine (reccomend yohimburn ES)

Lowering bodyfat will do the trick, because its fat and it will go away.

try skin tightening creams. diuretics to get rid of the excess water, perhaps. that's all I can think of.

yes and no. stubborn estrogenic fat will not go away proportionately (it will eventually be utilized, however not everyone can acheive the level of fat loss needed to see significant fat loss in such areas)

Looks like this guy used to be 200+ pounds. Maybe some of it is loose skin and will tighten on it's own? Either way, I think if you continue to lower your BF the problem will eventually solve itself. That said, at 5'9 160 lbs., maybe you're done losing weight for the time being and might do best to put on some muscle weight?

It's just fat and can be lost, estrogenic or not.

Diet and exercise will do the trick. You can also try doing exercises in a doorway to increase the musculature of your neck muscles. The most important thins is that "SPOT REDUCING IS IMPOSSIBLE" and that anyone that is trying to say different is trying to sell you something!

Some people can be fairly lean and still have a double chin, you might have to really lower your bodyfat.

sorry thats just a fallacy.

local admin of GH, IGF-1, deoxycholate(not reccomended), PGF2a, Yohimbine and a host of other compounds cause local fat store utilization or fat cell lysis.

also spot reduction has been shown in animal models through training, albeit training that no human would endure (however that means that on some small level it probably does occur in humans, just not appreciably)

agree

though adapting your supplements and diet to your biological issues can be quite helpful

u can do neck exercises such as opening our motuh as wide as u can for 10 to 12 seconds 10 times or tily your head back and stick ur chin in the air that can help smoothe out the area and spot reduce which is possible in my opinion

doing facial muscle exercises can help improve the structure and tone of your face, but it will not increase fat loss from those areas.

spot reduction through exercise is a possibility, at least in animal models, though the level and extent of training they used does not translate or would people be generally capable to engage in such.

over time consistent training likely does lead to spot reduction and increased local metabolism (from said training), though the level of training has to be high and the time measured in years.
