What can I do to minimize the appearance of my jowls? (Photo)

Asked By:Polite646589

Hi there. I am looking for advice on what I can do to lift my jowls. I am only 26 so no surgeon wants to perform a facelift. I believe my jowls are loose skin from weight loss (went from 124lbs to 260lbs back to 135lbs) but it could potentially also be fat (I had a similar face shape when I was a child). My neck also has a lot of loose skin (as you can see). I feel like I look so old. :( Thanks for your help.
