Why don't we get stretch marks on out faces?

[kpnuts13]

Now this may seem to be an odd question however whilst sittng awake at 3:30am i had the sudden thought, why do we get stretch marks all over our bodies when we put on weight and then lose it, but we can have six chins and no neck and yet if we lose that weight we do not get any stretch marks on our faces.
Please help me get this answered so i will not spend another waisted night wondering.

Thank you!

You can get stretch marks anywhere on the body including the face, it is just more common on the abdomen, thighs, hips and buttocks.

It is quite rare to get facial stretch marks, but it does happen.

thank you!!

China says hello and also do you have any?

Ask China

Well now... It's true this has been bugging her all morning but I certainly never said that! (I know it sounds like something I'd say but I definitely didn't, which is mildly concerniing only in that I didn't think of it).

Anyway, Octavius, allow me to introduce middle sister or blondie as she is effectionately (yeah right) known. I'd make appologies for her but I've been doing it for so long that it's become tiresome.

It's because generally faces don't grow considerably fast like that on a pregnant abdomen.

I did know a woman who talked to much that she had stretch marks on her gob. In fact she was so fat she had more chins than a Chinese phone book

Oh I see China, I was merely emphasising that you have seen enough of my bare naked skin to make a considered response to the secondary question.

But such things are how rumours begin. I prefer it when we gossip by saying nothing in a way that leaves practically nothing unsaid.
