Loose skin on neck?
Anyone else getting loose skin on their neck? Apparently my double/triple chin has gone away and now I have wavy lines where the fat used to be. I expected it on other parts of my body but not here?
Can botox fit it here or only plastics?

I'm getting a chicken neck as well too. I'm hoping that with time it will firm up a bit, since I'm only 43 and am still losing weight. I know my arms, thighs and tummy will never "bounce back" because the skin is very stretch-marked and damaged, but my neck may have the ability to firm up some.

Yes, I was very surprised that happened, like it appeared overnight!
I'm hoping it gets better- I was expecting it the other places, just not this...

It is happening there and getting worse quickly in addition to pretty much everywhere else on my body. I decided to get tan this summer. Everything looks better tan right?

Yeah, it happens most of the time. I disliked the neck skin most of all. It will get much better, but it takes quite a while -- like a year after you're done losing. It won't completely go away on its own, but it does improve.

Yup, chicken neck and wrinkles on my face. Although I'm 65 yrs, while morbidly obese I never looked anywhere near my age. I didn't have so much as 1 wrinkle on my face. Now I look like a wrinkled old lady with a chicken neck.

I'm only in my 40's, but I've always told my friends and family (half jokingly) that the key to looking young was to carry an extra 100 pounds.

I had this happen last time I lost a lot of weight... I'm already dreading it. SO, if you have a miracle firming cream that you think does ANY good at all, please share the brand name! I may start using it now!
