Will my double chin go away? Or just sag....
VSG on 08/06/12
I wonder the same thing. I don't think people can even find my chin. From what I have seen following the journey of others, it should improve markedly once you have reached goal. How much loose skin you have seems to depend on your age and the elasticity of your skin and how long you have had the extra weight there. I do know there is a procedure called the Lifestyle Lift (I think). A coworker of mine had it and it really did a nice job of pulling up her neck and some of her cheek skin up and tucked it by her ears. You can't see any scars either. She said it cost about $5500. She had lost a lot of weight and was left with extra skin but she was also in her 60s when she lost that weight. I'm sure her age made a difference with her skin not rebounding as well. I think we just won't know until we get there. I'm hopeful that my neck will not end up looking like a turkey neck. I know my stomach is doomed but i can cover that part up so much easier than my neck.

I dont think I have ever seen an after pic where the skin on the face sagged. I think the face pretty much across the board tightens up really well. Mine also is completely gone and I have actually gone to having chizzled features for the first time in my life. Now my chest and stomach are a different story. I am sure like others your face will tighten up as well. I am 33 and have yoyo dieted my whole life so the face has held up well. You can see pics in my profile.
Mine went away. I'm 35 (was 32 at the time of VSG), it took about a year for my skin to rebound. My facial skin doesn't sag nor does my neck, but my wrinkles around my eyes (crows feet and eyelids droop a bit) and the laugh lines around my mouth are far more pronounced.

A lot will depend on your genetics and how long you had the double chin. Mine is not so noticeable, and I have been told it will tighten up on its own. That os part of the reason they want you to maintain for a while before entertaining plastics.
I keep mine lotied with an age defying lotion and work the area with my hans. It seems to help.
