Hi Girls,
As I approach 60 years of age this Autumn, I'm noticing the toll that time and gravity are taking on my face. Lines are starting to form at either side of my mouth that will eventually meet up with the slight drooping either side of my sagging jawline. But these aren't my immediate concern.
My concern is the way my chin is no longer defined as separate from my neck. I'm developing what I've heard, uncharitably, called "turkey neck." I have a very heart shaped face with a small, narrow chin (think, horrors, Heinrich Himmler) and this really bothers me.
I need to let you know that my problem is not a "double chin" which comes from carrying excess weight in the facial/neck area. While I certainly could stand to loose weight, I carry it from the shoulders to my waist. My head/neck, arms and from the waist down are downright skinny. (I have no problem wearing a 7 1/2" bracelet for instance.)
I've seen ads for skin tightening products, "toning" bands/slings that pull the neck up overnight and electrical devices that are supposed to tone up the neck. These tend to run in the US$35 to $100 range. I'm frankly skeptical that any of them are more than scams.
I realize that plastic surgery is an option, but I don't have the money to do it (and honestly if I did, there are lots more flaws I'd want to take care of...)
Does anyone else have this problem and have you found any viable solutions?
Best,
Melody
