Like lose skin from Weight loss, stays loose despite years of vigorous exercise and careful diet. We lose collagen.

Age spots where the sun does not shine. Like my abdomen. As well as on the face.

Men develop boobs. Women's droop.

Whiskers on women's faces. I am doomed. Runs on the Italian side of my family. Keeping the tweezers handy and busy.

Weak abdominal muscles, resulting in leaky bladders. I do 150 ab crunches every day.
