IDK, but if you find something, let me know. I am shocked at mine. It looks like a sharpei! It's actually the worst droop I have so far....and the wrinkles run from my chin to my neck! I've been using lots of firming creams, but they don't work. And, it's too soon for plastic surgery, so that's out. I still think it's better than fat-filled, but I wonder how much worse it will get. I have a lot of weight to lose.

I'm not sure, and I do hope it gets a little better with time. I'm afraid to see what else is going to droop, lol!

It might be worth doing some research on facial exercises designed to reduce double chins. Can't hurt, and might help start tightening things up. Good luck!

Moisturise and keep hydrated. I have a bit of that too. But I guess it will be what it will be. I figure at least now I have a neck and not just more chins!!!

The main one I noticed on You tube is to look up and kiss the ceiling. I tried it and can feel the stretch.

I too hate my face. Hollow, dropping cheeks and a sway neck. Grrrrrrrrrrrrr.. It does seem to have gotten better over the last three months, but am I just getting used to it? I suspect a neck lift is the only thing going to fix it. I'm came in here today to read about Mexican plastics.

I certainly prefer my current Ronald Reagan turkey neck to the double chin I used to have!

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
