So here's what I'm worried about. I know that when you are fat, it fills out wrinkles I'm scared that when I lose weight that I will start to look old and get wrinkles! I've looked through some people's before and after pics on here and I've noticed that alot of people look older when they get skinny. I'm probably being superficial and silly but has anyone else besides me worred about this?

You have to remember that our face is full when we are overweight and the elasticity of the skin isn't going to be as firm. There are some products that could be useful while you're losing weight. I take Biosil which is good for the skin and hair. It costs about $30 but my boyfriend has already noticed my face looking more vibrant. I also use skin firming lotion for my face. Try researching some good skin care products. You'll probably find something worth trying.

I'm sure you get more wrinkles, but I think most people here look years younger after they lose weight....

yeah, I worry about it because I'm almost 47 -- sigh. But, so far, I have not gotten any wrinkles -- but yes, I do worry about it, but only cause I'm halfway old

I'm nearly 42 and I do worry about it, but to be honest I'd rather have a few more wrinkles (which are easy to take care of with some botox if i was really desperate) than being fat!

Hi, I am 54 and so far my face doesn't seem to be any more wrinkly but my arms, thighs and stomach are. At first I was a bit alarmed by it but then I realized it doesn't look any worse then the fact.

Thats what I think too- ok a wrinkle or two more looks a lot better than my rolls of fat do

Oh wow... I hope those aren't my pictures you're looking at!!!!

Well I'm hoping that since I'm 25 that I won't get real wrinkly. I hope my skin will snap back.*fingers crossed*

LilMissDiva, nope! I think you look great!

Ohhh *whew*... I was already planning my face lift along with all my other lifts!

And yes, if you're young I really say you don't have anything to worry about. :-)

I'm 22, and I think that I might actually look my age after I've lost the weight. Right now, no one believes I'm 22 without seeing my license, people say I look 25 or 26. I'm definately looking forward to looking my age again

You may look older but I am sure your better figure, increased energy, better posture etc. will counter act that...at least that's what I am hoping for.

The other thing to consider is that often between the before and after, there are a couple of years so yeah, they look older because they ARE older :-)

Susanne, lol I never really thought about that... I'm a blonde at heart!

I think most people regardless of age and wrinkles look younger when they lose weight. It's not just the face nut overall level of energy etc.

I think I look younger, but I have more wrinkles. I'm not sure, but you can see my pictures, and make the call if I look old.

I'm 34, and the only time I have noticeable wrinkles is when I smile my crow's feet show, and the laugh lines around my mouth are more apparent. Personally, I'll take looking my age over looking like a can of Grand's biscuits popped at the seam.

I will have face work done because I'm vain. I will have botox, and some sort of filler for my laugh lines, but I do not need it. I want it. Not for any other reason than I think I need it. Ask all of my friends, my husband, and they think I'm crazy because they all think I look 10 years younger. I get carded for cigarettes and alcohol. Most people think I'm my husband's age which is 6 years younger than I really am. I think it's how I view myself. The outside world seems to think I'm my age or a few years younger.

I'm 26 and I definitely look younger after losing weight. I never had a moon face, but even so, the weightloss made quite a difference in my face. People used to assume I was in my late 20s-early 30s, now they think I'm in my early 20s. I forgot who it was - Catherine Deneuve, I think - who said "At a certain age, you have to choose between your ass and your face." I do think it's true to an extent, but I think that becomes more of a concern after menopause where your skin loses a lot of elasticity.
