Turkey Neck

[lessofmeismore 1,405]

So I don't know what else to call it lol but my weight loss in my face has given me a turkey neck!

Ugh I'm so self conscious about it. Does this get any better? Does it get worse? I don't have money for plastics...I was self pay and that literally broke the bank.

*sigh*

I'm 41 but I feel like I'm starting to look 101

Please don't feel bad because I too am seeing signs of a turkey neck. I am 53 and losing weight just three years ago did not create this problem, but now the signs are here. Like you I do not have funds for plastic surgery. To combat this problem I keep my face/neck washed and rinse with cold Water.

I am having the same problem. My friend who has a beautiful chin/throat/neck line told me that she does this simple exercise while driving or watching TV or anytime throughout the day. Simply say the vowels A-E-I-O-U but OVER emphasize them using many facial muscles. You can truly feel your neck muscles moving. I have now done this for three days and I can feel a little tug in my jaw line letting me know "something" is happening.

Thanks for the exercise suggestions and I have already saved the website livestrong that refers to exercises for chin and neck. Oh, by the way I began repeating the vowels over and over , which seemed to invigorate both my chin and neck.

You can wear silk scarves till you feel comfortable with the results of your chin exercises. Ross usually has a great selection at a convenient price.
