Double chin(s) plea for help - any good exercises?

I've inherited the family double chin from my Mum & Grandmother. Despite losing almost 10kg and reaching target weight, it's refusing to budge.
I've just had my second session of fat reducing injections and my doc thinks this will likely be sufficient - we will review again in a fortnight. He suggested I consider fillers but I dismissed that (not judging those who have them but not for me) so my other option is HIFU. I am not adverse to this, but wondering if there's any exercises out there that help? My social media ads are promoting Face Yoga, but wondering if anyone has tried it? I read about two exercises that are supposed to work - making a pucker/pout with your lips and 'kissing' towards the sky, as well as putting your bottom teeth over your top lip, pressing your tongue to the roof of your mouth and smiling - can really feel the pull with this one.
Please share if face yoga worked for you or any exercises that help with toning of the chin area.
I'm realistic - I am 41 not 21, but this chin really gets me down so any improvement would be a bonus.
Thank you in advance, oh kind people in my phone :)

The first one works really well for jowls, not sure about double chins but face yoga is definitely effective. I started to worry about lip lines that started to look more pronounced though, but I am older.
Failing that, contouring to make your chin appear smaller maybe? I happened upon a TikTok video last night and it was effective for the poster.

Thanks, @PennySittingPretty - I will keep up the 2 exercises until my next follow up appointment. Will check out TikTok too
