So, my father had "jowls" and blast it, I as a heavy person have that fatty layer under my chin, going down my neck. It's just unsightly. So, I'm wonder if any of you had success with them thinning/firming (dare I hope disappearing) when you lost weight. What do you recommend? Is there hope for a more slender neck with weight loss? Would love your experience, thoughts, advice.

    I had a double chin when I started. The second chin disappeared as I lost weight. I didn't do anything special, just overall loss. I'm pretty sure my neck/jowls won't get any smaller.

    I don't have a whole lot of weight to lose, but that was the first thing that noticeably disappeared for me.

    Triple chins here when I started. Now have only one, skin is still a little loose - working on that!

    Ugh, I have the same problem. No matter how thin I was in my younger years, I still always sported chipmunk cheeks. After my first daughter was born, I carried a lot of weight in my face. No matter how much I've slimmed down since, I still have that unglorious turkey wattle under my chin. I hate it. It's the most self conscious part that exists on my body. I've lost 14 pounds since Memorial Day and it still hasn't reduced the appearance of the wattle. Makes my head look like it hangs forward and I swear adds 10 years to my appearance.

    So yes, I too would love to hear a positive answer to this question that doesn't involve expensive cosmetic surgery (though if I were independently wealthy, it's the first procedure I'd have)!

    Yes.... "unglorious turkey wattle"..... horrid name, but that's what it is!! Thank for the responses and encouragement.... you guys/gals look great in the photos!! Jack LaLaine has like a zillion YouTube facial exercises. I wonder if I should start some of those.

    I have lost some of my "turkey neck" but not all. Still working on it though - maybe it will get smaller the more I lose. If not, then I guess some type of neck exercises may help. Will have to research this though.
