Turkey neck?!

I'm older that a lot of you guys, but am still a bit surprised at what's going on with my neck all of a sudden.

It's looking like an old lady neck!  I've always looked a bit younger than I am, so this is freaking me out!

I heard it's from rapid weight loss, but are there exercises for the neck that actually work, or am I looking at some plastics work in my future?

I had that problem too during the first year when I was losing weight real fast. But I am 14 months out now and the skin seems to be bouncing back a little.  The turkey neck is not as bad as it was at first.

Get a good moisturizer too and use it a couple of times a day.  The skin won't look as wrinkled if it is not too dry.

 Do the chin n neck wraps...they tighten skin.  Wrapwithalicia.myitworks.com.  I never did neck but I do stomach n lost several inches of extra skin.  They tighten skin n help lighten stretch marks

I lucked out because I never did have a full double chin. I do a lot of neck stretches though and it looks better than friends that have aged without weight gain or loss.

I am so thrilled about my weight loss, but my neck really bugs me too.  So I can see some sort of work down the road.

I have been using heavy duty moisturizers, but don't know that it is helping much.

Hopefully like one of the previous posters said, it will bounce back a little!

I have the turkey neck thing happening.  And I had ( ) from my nose to the corners of my mouth pre-op but they weren't bad.  Not so much noticeable until I smiled.  Now those are deeper and I have another small set outside of those.  Menopausal so having hormonal issues and breakouts.  Breakouts and wrinkles??  What hell is this? 

But I have read a lot of woman say in their 2nd year the weight redistributed itself more and the face filled out a little again.  I am hoping.  Not too much.  But a little couldn't hurt.
