Bad[edit]

Bad *body position*? I smell quackery:

Causes: Genes play a big role in the chance of developing a double chin, but lack of exercise and/or sleep, a bad diet/nutrition and most notably a bad body position all make the risk of developing one easier. Especially in younger ages, the way you read makes a big difference; students often read for hours and if they are keeping their head in a very downward position, a double chin will form. Double chins are also seen widely when a person lowers their jaw into the lower-most position, or if a person recoils thier neck to their shoulders.

Removal through surgery: Double chin removal is available, but expensive.

Booheehoo. I was the one who wrote that, and I am not a native English speaker(the reason I am not writing on the Swedish page is that I know most of us are using the English one anyway and this subject needed work). I am not trying to promote anything and I believe the info is well justified; I don't visit the link added and come ON, it was just a lingo error. Rather than deleting it altogether, I'd appreciate it if you just corrected it.Keeping one's head low forms a double chin, and if you constantly walk around like that(or sit, as the following sentence mentions), a permanent double chin will form. The 'most notably' was used because most people know about the others but do not think of this cause, edit it out if you wish. We are all working to make this page better. I will wait a week for a response or a re-edit; if nothing happens I'll just rewrite it myself, making it easier to understand. By the way, the last sentence in the above paragraph was not written by me

Also, it's very hard to find any reliable sources that discuss double chins; mostly you'll find bulletin boards and "beauty pages" that may be twisting the truth to sell their products. All that I contributed are things that you understand through common sense, or that I have heard from doctors, but not on the Net.

Makes some sense to me, with a quick check. Bad posture, hunching the head back and low on the neck with a ownloadwars facing does indeed tend to pronounce any ouble chin. LinaMishima 21:13, 1 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

That posture pushes the fat to the front, where it's easy to see. It does not make you have fat under your chin in the first place. WhatamIdoing (talk) 18:16, 21 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Typical[edit]

I took out the 'Typical' in "Roman statuette of a typical fat woman." (third pic down) As anyone can tell you, there is no such thing as a typical 'fat' woman. It sounds like it's talking about an animal. I think some better pictures are needed also. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.103.183.229 (talk) 05:10, 4 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Copying[edit]

Most of this article is copied verbatum from [1], and it needs to be rewritten. - Robogymnast 05:26, 18 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Horrible[edit]

This whole article needs to be purged and redone. I'm deleting some of the useless pictures. (12/14/08) —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.126.75.174 (talk) 22:39, 14 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Agree this article needs a purge & rewrite or should be deleted. Lazarusloafer (talk) 03:11, 25 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Surgery?[edit]

That is really not true. Overweight/obese people can completely remove their double chin by losing weight. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.190.166.55 (talk) 09:54, 2 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

moderately priced surgery[edit]

it says the surgery is moderately priced. it gives no numbers and doesn't define moderately. a past version of the page says its expensive - same problem. i wonder if a surgeon could have put that descriptor. if its going to mention the price, perhaps it should use numbers? until then it should not say the price is moderate. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.171.34.214 (talk) 22:06, 8 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Merge[edit]

Have merged to Chin. This merge proposal need not have been closed as no consensus.....there was no opposition so could have gone ahead anyway. --Iztwoz (talk) 11:34, 14 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
