tips for saggy chin skin
Perhaps it depends on your age.
I'm not young. I lost and kept off 71 pounds with WW prior to the sleeve. And yeah, I have loose skin on my neck. Nothing I can do about it... maybe surgery at some point to tighten it up.

Yes, as a matter of fact I do have tips! I was starting to show loose skin on my neck as well and decided to investigate to fight this off early. I'm only 6 weeks post op.
First, do neck exercises. Simply, stick your lower jaw out until you have an underbite and stretch your neck back by looking all the way up at the ceiling. Feel that stretch? good. keep working on it. I learned this from a great video series on youtube called FaceYoga or something like that. there are other exercises there for the whole neck area, even the cheeks.
Second, get yourself a good firming cream. The best one I've tried is Avon's dramatic firming. I've tried other expensive brands before but this one is the best and it's inexpensive. I use it on my face and neck in the morning and at night before my moisturizer. Yes, it does work, I've noticed that turkey neck reduce in the last few weeks, especially since I started the exercises.
Don't beat yourself up about saggy skin, though. It's a sign that you're meeting your weightloss goals. It is what it is, but luckily there are ways to avoid it!
Good luck!

I want you all to be aware of a technique that may minimize or prevent your saggy skin. So please share. It's called Dry Brushing. I don't know why it isn't promoted but Definitely start dry brushing! After having kids, gaining weight and losing 99 pounds. I had stretch marks all over. I'm pretty sure I purchased more than $1,000 worth of skin cream :-( So I can tell you nothing works. I purchased generic items to expensive items from my homeland. I was considering a tummy tuck surgery for the excess skin that I had but for the stretch marks I was at a lost. I found information on a technique and it worked wonders for my skin. It's called Dry Brushing. I started a new website for women and men who are constantly seeking new ways to eliminate or minimize saggy, loose, or stretched marked skin I started my site to spread awareness because after dry brusing for about year and half, eating good, using coconut oil, and organic soap, my skin has become so amazing. My stretch marks are not completely gone but they have become very thin and nearly invisble. The skin also has tighten up :-) All you need is a dry brush, soap, and coconut oil and your set. Everyone's results vary.
