I am 36 years old and I have the typical "chipmunk cheeks" caused by the predisone that I take for my kidney transplant. I am thin, but I have fat and loose skin under my chin and around my neck that makes me look much heavier than I really am. Is there anything I can do to reduce the fat and loose skin that would be less invasive than a traditional face lift?
