“I have a double chin even though I’m not overweight” — this is actually a concern many people share.

Even without excess weight, a double chin can form due to your original bone structure, posture, and other factors.

But this double chin can be improved.

This article details the causes of a double chin, how to improve it, and KADOMORI’s recommended treatments.

Why Do You Get a Double Chin Without Being Overweight?

It’s easy to assume “a double chin only happens if you’re overweight,” but in fact it can appear regardless of body type.

Bone structure, posture, lifestyle habits, and other factors can combine to cause sagging and puffiness around the jaw.

Here we detail the causes of a double chin that occur regardless of weight.

Your Original Bone Structure

If a double chin is noticeable even though you’re not overweight, your original bone structure may be a factor.

For example, people with a smaller jawbone or a receding jaw structure tend to accumulate skin and fat more easily around the neck and jaw, making a double chin more likely.

Because this happens regardless of body type, even slender people can carry this concern.

Changing your bone structure is difficult, but training the muscles of the neck and jaw can tighten the facial line and improve its appearance.

Even a small chin can lead to a double chin. See this article for details.

Your Ears Sit in Front of Your Shoulders

Poor posture is another cause of a noticeable double chin.

Watch out for a state where your ears sit in front of your shoulders — so-called forward-leaning posture.

This posture strains the back of the neck and lets the front muscles sag.

As a result, excess skin and fat gather beneath the jaw, emphasizing the double chin.

Keeping your ears aligned with your shoulders and maintaining a posture perpendicular to the ground can be expected to clean up the look of your neck and jaw area.

Reduced Bone Density

It may surprise you, but reduced bone density can also cause a double chin.

As bone density declines, the bones around the jaw weaken, and their ability to firmly support the skin and fat above them diminishes.

As a result, the skin sags more easily and appears as a double chin.

Exercise and adequate calcium and vitamin D intake are important for maintaining bone density.

Too Much Salt or Fluid

Excessive salt and fluid intake is also a cause of a double chin.

Consuming too much salt makes fluid accumulate more easily in the body, appearing as puffiness. The jaw and neck are areas prone to puffiness, and if this state continues, it can look like a double chin.

Staying hydrated is important for health, but overdoing it can cause puffiness, so aim for a moderate amount.

Reviewing your diet and lifestyle habits can help prevent puffiness around the jaw.

For a double chin caused by forward-head posture, see this article as well.

How Can You Improve a Double Chin?

Improving a bothersome double chin can be within reach through small habits and care.

Here we detail ways to improve a double chin.

Improve Blood and Lymph Flow

To improve a double chin, improving blood and lymph flow is recommended. Correcting your posture in particular matters greatly.

When your neck and shoulders lean forward, blood and lymph flow tend to stagnate, and waste accumulates, causing puffiness.

Maintaining correct posture helps waste flow more smoothly, leading to improvement in sagging.

Massage and stretching also promote circulation, so do incorporate them.

Train the Muscles Around Your Mouth

Training the muscles around your mouth is also effective for improving a double chin.

Moving muscles in this area — rarely used consciously in daily life — can tighten sagging beneath the jaw.

For example, opening your mouth wide and voicing “ah,” “ee,” “oo,” “eh,” “oh” is a simple exercise for training the expression muscles.

Doing this a little each day can improve muscle strength and promise a tightening effect for the whole face.

Chew Thoroughly

Chewing thoroughly during meals also helps improve a double chin.

Chewing food well moves the muscles throughout the face, training the muscles around the jaw.

This raises metabolism, making excess fat less likely to accumulate, and can also tighten the jawline.

Increasing your number of chews also stimulates the satiety center, helping prevent overeating.

To maintain a healthy facial line, try making thorough chewing a habit at mealtimes.

For a Double Chin, KADOMORI’s “Hedgehog Beauty Acupuncture” Is Recommended!

KADOMORI’s “Hedgehog Beauty Acupuncture” uses technique that considers the balance of the facial muscles, aiming to realize your ideal facial line.

This treatment’s hallmark is its ability to respond in fine detail, matched to the flow of the expression muscles and the condition of the skin and muscles.

Because the practitioner understands the correct movement and arrangement of the muscles, treatment can be tailored to each individual face, adjusted flexibly as it proceeds.

Hedgehog Beauty Acupuncture pursues a smaller-face effect unlike anything available at other salons, and is recommended for those who want to feel their facial line tighten and lift.

Treatments Recommended in Combination

Several of KADOMORI’s treatments deliver even greater effect when received together.

Here are treatments we especially recommend combining with Hedgehog Beauty Acupuncture.

KADOMORI-Style Facial Slimming

KADOMORI-style facial slimming is a treatment that works on the bone structure using KADOMORI’s original theory and techniques.

Rather than simply making the face smaller, this advanced technique adjusts the bone structure while weighing the size and balance of each facial feature.

The treatment uses a special method called the Synchro Wave to work on the bone structure, guiding you toward a more beautiful facial appearance.

Because it delivers a natural smaller-face effect while balancing the whole face, it is especially recommended for those who want a cleaner facial line.

Face-Sculpting Facial <Radio-Frequency>

This treatment uses a high-frequency thermal device, also used in medicine and esthetics, to loosen muscles with warmth of about 42°C.

As stiffened muscles loosen, the heat-tightening effect simultaneously promotes lifting and fat burning, and a smaller-face effect can also be expected.

The warmth also works on the deep layers of the skin, supporting collagen production, so skin can become plumper and more youthful.

Highly relaxing, this treatment also suits those who want beauty care while refreshing themselves.

Carboxy Pack

The Carboxy Pack is a treatment in which a dedicated mask and gel combine to generate powerful carbon dioxide on the skin.

This carbon dioxide penetrates the skin, helping promote circulation and expel waste, guiding you toward more translucent skin.

Featured in numerous magazines and hugely popular, this treatment pairs well with KADOMORI’s other treatments, and the effect grows even greater when received together.

Recommended for those who want moisturized, firm skin.
