Looking old after weight loss!

I am a little concerned what I will look like AFTER I lose all my weight. I know I'll have more energy & feel great & I CAN'T WAIT!! However, I have seen a few people lately who have lost quite a bit of weight & their face looks older. I have a friend who's skin on her face is now wrinkly. (My husband said he thought she looked better before!!) Anybody else concerned? Any one have a secret to keeping our youthful appearance after weight loss?

This idea of looking older after weight loss has been a concern of mine for years - even before surgery. I'm 44 but consistently get mistaken for being in my late 20's or early 30's. I'd hate to actually start looking my age.... So, when I started this journey I looked into lotions that would help restore the elasticity of my skin. Cocoa butter seems to be the best but then you go around smelling like chocolate all the time. I don't know what the answer is - I'm just keeping my fingers crossed.

I have a pretty big problem with aging.. looking old.. being old.

I just turned 35.

I been so scared of looking older.. Then someone pointed out that I dont have wrinkles and that made me feel good for a minute..

I may not have wrinkles but I already have this loose skin on my face (I wont show any pics of what I mean) and I think its goona be real BAD.

loved the waves also, i don't mind the excess flab on my body had to cover up pretty well most of my life and at 53 it wont bother me to keep doing it anyway when i get smaller i can get trendier clothes BUT where the double chin is shrinking man have i got some wrinkles there, i will try looking up to the ceiling and puckering up any more tips for that area folk's
