Deflated Double Chin?!

I'm 2 months post-op and have lost a lot in my face, particularly my *****s).

I'm super happy about this but am wondering if anyone has found anything outside of surgery, that has helped firm up the wrinkly, droopy face/neck skin left behind?

TIA!

Nope - it's not only stretched out skin, it's probably extra skin. Yup, we grow extra skin to cover the excess fat when we've carried that bulk around for awhile. And that extra skin has no where to go once it deflates.

It's particularly troublesome on the neck area because that skin is so fine and thin anyway. The best you can do is moisturize to make the skin look better..and be creative with scarves and turtlenecks But nothing will "firm up" that skin except a lower face lift.

The good news is that after about a year of maintenance it does seem to look better - not a lot, but a little.

i have not tried anything but i have heard of a product called nerium. my aunt had rny 12/31/14 and uses it on her thighs and "batwings" and her face and its definitely smaller but idk if she would consider it tighter but she lives by it

Super expensive stuff and not effective - I gave it a fair trial and stopped using it.

I have a few other "lifts" that I will need first but still in weight-loss phase so it will be awhile.

Scarves work great.

Nothing will help. But as Tracy said, during the second year things firm up a little and get redistributed.

Does that mean there's hope that someday I might have a butt again?
