I have recently lost around 50lbs however now I am dealing with sagging skin under my chin. I've always looked younger than my age however now being a month shy of being 40, I feel I look much older with this dreaded Turkey Neck and it is ruining my self confidence. It makes me regret losing the weight when I should be happy. Looking to see what my options are to correct this. I've heard some procedures can be done with a local anesthetic but being awake literally terrifies me.
