Not sure if this is the right place to post this or if it matters. Is there anything short of lipo that will help firm my flabby chin? Now that I have lost some weight in my face it seems worse. It doesn't show so much from the front, but I saw myself in the mirror from the side this weekend and yuk! Of course age and gravity have a lot to do with it, but if there is anything that works I'd like to hear about it.

It was roughly 28 when I started. That was done with calipers at my gym at the end of April. This weekend is my scheduled weigh-in and measurement check. I had read a couple things about firming creams here, but when I emailed about them I didn't get an answer. Does anyone know if they work or not?

I bought a firming cream for my stomach and thought wow what if it worked for my face, LOL Sounds funny but it works great for my eyes, I use it there twice aday and once aday on my stomach, can't tell a diffrence on my stomach but the eyes do look better. I am purchasing 100% cocoa butter, I have been hearing good things latly about that. I used on my stomach when I was pregnant, that might be why I don't have strech marks.

I would like more info on these firming creams. I don't want to offend by asking for details, but I also don't want to waste my money if anyone knows firsthand that they don't work. I see several different ones in mags, but if anyone could email me directly about these I'd appreciate it. (Now that I wrote this I'm wondering if I should start a new post.)

I hear you about the flabby chin azredhead57. I have/had the same problem, although I have noticed that since I have lost body fat% in the last 6 months - it has definitely gotten smaller. I hope in another 6 months I can reduce it to zero (fingers crossed)

It can also be lipo removed, but one would have to talk to a doctor to get an evaluation to see it would be recommended (skin has to have a certain amount of elasticity in order for skin to not just "hang" there after procedure)

Good luck!
