My Neck Looks Wrinkly and The Muscles Tighten Up When I Speak. What Can I Do? (photo)

April 9, 2012
Asked By:ladydebdeb in VA

I am a 41 year old female and only a year ago I started to see how my neck muscles tighten up and when I'm speaking, and my neck looks so wrinkly. It happens too when I inhale my cigarette. I am a TV journalist and how my neck looks now really bothers me. I get a lot of "I thought you were early 30's" comments from people, thanks to my Asian genes, but my neck just doesn't want to cooperate. Pls help. Thank you!
