According to the Eastern style, a wide, protruding, full chin is considered ideal. In second place is a square chin. A narrow, weak chin is considered bad. The chin is of particular importance for a woman. When choosing a bride, the first thing they look for is that she has a large, round, full, protruding and (ideally) double chin with a dimple. It is believed that women with such a chin are loving wives and good housewives. A small, pointed chin is worse, but it also speaks of a good heart. But a square or rectangular chin shows that the woman is stubborn and self-willed. Such a wife will scandalize or command her husband.
Causes of a double chin
- Age-related changes in facial oval. In this case, the skin loses elasticity and firmness, and the neck muscles weaken. So, due to the loss of its former elasticity, the chin may undergo changes and droop downwards. Aging does not cause fat accumulation, but it does cause sagging skin in the chin area. It is impossible to completely eliminate this factor; there is a possibility of only slowing down this process a little with the help of exercises, cosmetics or even plastic correction;
- Genetic predisposition. A fold of fat on the chin can be inherited. In the occurrence of a double chin, heredity plays an important role; slow metabolism and protein biosynthesis can be inherited, which inhibits collagen regeneration;
- Obesity, sudden weight gain or loss. Without a doubt, weight plays a fundamental role in the formation of a double chin. In women, fat deposits in the neck area form just as easily as, for example, on the hips or buttocks. Therefore, when we gain weight, there is a high probability that a significant part of it will go right to the chin;
- Unpronounced lower jaw. The smaller the angle between the neck and jaw line, the greater the likelihood of a double chin;
- Thyroid dysfunction, diabetes, pregnancy. All these features are related to hormones, but adjusting such a chin is not difficult;
- Constant lowering of the head when walking, stooping, incorrect posture when reading or working at the computer. Many people may constantly slouch without even noticing it. If this happens day after day, the muscles in the front of the neck weaken, this causes the appearance of a double chin;
- Sleeping on a pillow that is too high. Incorrect position while sleeping or reading is also important;
- Poor diet, very frequent consumption of spicy, high-calorie and fatty foods. Poor nutrition and especially overeating before bed negatively affect the neck area; in this case, a double chin can appear very easily, and you will only need a few extra pounds.
Influence of attitudes
Modern psychology classifies physiognomy as a pseudoscience that has no evidence base. At the same time, it recognizes the influence of social attitudes on the human personality. Perceiving the appearance and behavior of another person, everyone endows him with character traits based on stereotypes that have developed in society. Scientist A. A. Bodalev clearly demonstrated this phenomenon in his experiments.
Two groups of subjects were shown a portrait of the same person. They were asked to give him an oral description. Only the first group was presented with a criminal, and the second - with a famous scientist. As a result of the experiment, two mutually exclusive characteristics were obtained. The criminal appeared to be a cruel person with a suspicious look and a massive jaw, indicating mercilessness. To the second group, the scientist’s eyes seemed tired, his facial expression was intelligent, and her lower part indicated perseverance and perseverance. This confirms the idea that a strong-willed chin is a certain stereotype of perception that has developed in society.
Double chin correction methods
In order to preserve youth and beauty for as long as possible, many women are just thinking about the question of how to remove a double chin. If a double chin has just begun to form, then special exercises or masks can help in this matter. But if we are dealing with an advanced condition, then most likely it will be necessary to resort to cosmetic procedures.
Double chin correction may include:
- lifting;
- ozone therapy;
- mesotherapy;
- myostimulation;
- photorejuvenation;
- cosmetic massage.
What are implants made of?
In addition to silicone implants, there are also bioprostheses (based on the patient’s cartilage tissue). Despite the fact that they are as safe as silicone, and therefore are also often used to enlarge the chin, experts note some nuances that can sometimes arise when using them.
“Of course, silicone implants are ideal for chin augmentation, because they do not affect the resorption of bone tissue,” notes Elena Chirikova.
— Silicone elastomer is a semi-soft material, and when changing such an implant, we see the absence of any resorption in the area of the bony part of the chin. If the implant is made of a hard material (for example, a rib), then the bone part of the chin experiences severe pressure from the bioimplant, which forces it to follow the contour of its posterior (facing the bone) part, and the bone part of the chin is resorbed, that is, it loses its own volume.”
Mesotherapy
Mesotherapy is a non-surgical method of facial modeling. It is carried out using microinjections under the skin. Improves the metabolism of the skin, subcutaneous fat, saturates tissues with oxygen, prevents sagging and premature aging of the skin.
A cosmetologist uses injections to administer special cocktails of vitamins and medications. A full course will require 8-10 procedures, which are carried out at intervals of 5-7 days. Results are usually already noticeable after 4 or 5 sessions. The effect will last for at least six months if you follow all the recommendations.
W-shaped or dimpled
Such a chin is a sign of honesty, sincerity, straightforwardness and openness. And all this in the best senses! Owners of such a chin never hide their feelings that they experience towards others.
They also seem to generate positive vibrations. These people easily cope with life's difficulties, while managing to help others. Everyone loves them very much because they are devoted comrades, reliable friends and excellent advisers.
Cosmetic massage
Cosmetic massage is considered one of the most effective and popular salon procedures, but it must only be performed by a professional, otherwise there is a risk of stretching the skin of the face and cheeks directly.
Vacuum massage is often used, which improves blood circulation and improves metabolism. Muscle tone increases, and the skin of the neck and chin tightens. As a result, the process of aging and fading of the skin slows down, folds and double chin disappear, the skin is smooth and elastic.
Prominent representatives
Various world publications regularly conduct ratings of the most beautiful and sexiest men on the planet (Heart world, Life). Looking at celebrity portraits, it is easy to understand what a strong-willed chin means. This is an invariable attribute of all modern sex symbols. It is possessed not only by actors who traditionally star in action films - Steven Seagal, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Dolph Lundgren. But also handsome men George Clooney, Robert Pattinson, Justin Timberlake.
The picture is similar among Russians. Sex symbols from Nikolai Eremenko to Vasily Stepanov (the blockbuster “Inhabited Island”) are the owners of an outstanding lower part of the face. Among the legendary politicians, whose contribution to history has been confirmed by time, there are also many men distinguished by the presence of a strong-willed chin: John Kennedy, Winston Churchill, Joseph Stalin. The existing exceptions only confirm the rule.
Chin surgery
In cases where non-invasive or minimally invasive methods of dealing with a double chin do not give the desired result, you can resort to plastic surgery.
Chin plastic surgery is performed in a clinic; it improves the shape of the face, has a rejuvenating effect, corrects oval shape, and eliminates double chin. In addition, this method is used if the chin has developmental defects or irregular shape, or was damaged during a mechanical injury.
Contraindications for surgery

- Infections and inflammatory processes;

Lifting
For double chin plastic surgery, different types of lifting are used: implantation of threads, transplantation of one’s own fat tissue, which are used to change the shape of the face. But any surgical intervention is a serious stress for the body. You need to be very careful when choosing a method, clinic and doctor.
If for some reason you cannot use these methods, then there is always a huge arsenal of tools in the fight for beauty and attractiveness that you can use at home: masks, scrubs, wraps.
How to do more
There are several ways to enlarge a small chin. “The simplest is the introduction of a dense filler,” says Elena Chirikova, “a very convenient way for the patient to understand how much the chin needs to be enlarged and how much its changes change the appearance. The only drawback of this method is its short duration and the need for correction. Another way is to enlarge the chin with a silicone implant.
From my point of view, the most worthy and quite simple to install. The implant can be selected by shape, size, volume - the most suitable for a particular patient - and, if necessary, changes can be made to it with ordinary scissors or a scalpel, cutting off all unnecessary, working like a sculptor.”
To achieve the desired chin shape once and for all, the best option is to contact a plastic surgeon and use the second method. This method of mentoplasty is more complex, but gives a lasting result. Today there are no problems with choosing a polymer implant. The range is so wide that you can choose an option that exactly matches all the anatomical features of a face of any shape. Only a specialist can decide on the choice of implant.
“To understand how your appearance will change, there are several options for “trying on” a new image,” says Elena Karpova. — It is possible to visualize a picture of a simulated changed appearance by enlarging the chin on a computer.
You can make a 3D model of your face using modern technology and experiment with the size of your chin. And another effective way to understand whether you like your look is to inject a filler based on hyaluronic acid. If you don’t like it, the filler will degrade and everything will return to its place.”
Long
This form is quite rare. And if you have just such a chin, then know: fate has endowed you with family pleasures.
You, a gentle and family-oriented person, will be able to become happy. You will connect your life with someone with whom you really want to spend it, being side by side. Loyalty, devotion, love and sincerity will become your eternal companions.
In addition, a long chin indicates originality and strong individuality. And also about the ability to be flexible and adapt to a variety of situations and circumstances.
Round
Positivity, optimism and a joyful attitude in life - this is what is inherent in the owners of a chin of this shape. People who have it round always have many friends.
They are loved and appreciated, but they themselves avoid leadership positions. And if they occupy a leadership position, they do everything in order to first unite the team and only then lead it to the goal. And it works! Subordinates are incredibly inspired by the dedication of their leader. And the human attitude towards each team member makes you respect and listen.
