What can I do about the extra weight gain only in my face and chin?

Asked By:Hogwarts08 in Iowa City, IA

I am 24 with a nice figure and weight but I have extra weight under my chin and jowels. Its started and has been slowly getting worse for the past year and even my friends are starting to notice. It fluctuates daily, sometimes almost going away, sometimes huge. It makes me look fat when I'm really not. I asked my doctor and she's done tests but found no medical cause. I was thinking it might be stress or water retention but nothing is helping and my doctor doesn't care.
