I feel like Jay Leno?!?!?!?!?!?

Anyone know why my chin and under the chin might be looking a little thicker and itchy? I can notice my lower chin and under my chin looking a tiny bit bigger???...... different????? ( not sure how to explain it)

I even have developed a crease under my chin and you can see on my recent pic it is noticeable when I smile.

Please tell me I am not turning into Jay here.

Seriosly - is this something I should be paying more attention too? Do you think it's just fat?

could do what my sis did, and have it removed. along with her eyelids, bags under her eyes, and a "brow lift"!! i called it a face lift she's still in denial and calls it a brow lift. but my family has what we like to call a "waddle" it's most annoying. but mine is genetic and if if i were to weight 100 lbs, it would stll be there.unless of course i do what my sis did!

Bah! It's just gravity taking over...If it don't fall off, wear out, slip off, gravity'll do the rest for us!
  Seriously though, have a look at any photos of your mother and grandmothers. I started to notice getting two jowl like thingies on my jaw line near my mouth. I freaked out! I know my mum started getting them about my age and now I can barely look in the mirror coz I am looking like her! Waaaaah!
  So sometimes not everything can be blamed on the thyroid!

Maybe you have dropsy due to low thyroid...Not a medical term but my own.  My chin drops like that with the line under my chin when my thyroid is low.  Always goes back up after an increase...

Seriously - I just looked at the pic and it toally is there too.

Be hosnest - If you think I just have a fat face from the weight say that.

But with this other stuff I still have unknown - I just was wondering if this is something to evaluate with that endo surgeon on Jan 26th.
