I have had horizontal neck rings since birth. With weight gain they have gotten large. I'm in the process of getting control of my health and losing weight but they don't feel like weight loss would help. They feel like loose fat and extra skin. I've also grown a second chin. I've always had a round face so none of this extra fat is doing me any favors. Is there any surgical/non-surgical procedure that would help? If so, would waiting to achieve more weight loss be advisasable?
