I'll trade you a saggy chin & jowls for your laugh lines. My mother and both her parents have/had terrible "turkey necks". They were all overweight, which made matters much worse, but I'm starting to get one too despite being quite slender. Boy, do I hate the sagging skin, and if money were no object and my DH weren't vehemently opposed, I'd probably get a lower face lift and just be done with it. But, that's not going to happen so I'll just have to deal. I have lines around my eyes/mouth too, but the saggy skin is much more of an issue for me. I haven't done any kinds of fillers, botox, chemical peels, or laser treatments. I'm pretty much an au naturel kinda gal, but I have two close friends who have had facial plastic surgery, and they look really good, not fake at all.
This part of aging does suck!
The wiseness part helps, though.
