It is unfortunate, but some women have a natural disposition to a double chin. You may appear to have a double chin in old photos, even if you were not overweight in the least. If you have gained weight or grown in age, that double chin or neck waddle could have gotten rather problematic.

This happens to a lot of people, and the reason is simple. Every person is different. And because of that, what works for one person may not work for another.
