Just wondering if anyone has experienced this. I am concerned that the more volume I lose in my face, the older I will look. Lord knows I do not want THAT to happen! I think a little Restylane or Juviderm may be in order soon

I feel like I am old now..ESP..in the face...That is where I lost a lot of weight at first....None of my supporters think I look bad but when I look in the mirror I see my mother who is 80 years old.....

I guess it is one of the things I have to deal with!

I have the same fear as you and will fight it all the way!! When I finish losing all the weight I will look into some fillers if need be. Good luck to you!!

Looking older after weight loss :angry:

is it true that 60 is the new 40???? (hope so )

i've always been self-conscious about my age

I do have "loser" skin in my face

BUT......

i would rather the "loser" skin and look great - (like i do )

then be my old obese person

i'm enjoying the good life, being a healthier, happier, proud grammy

You're just nothing but sunshine! I bet if we jarred you up, you'd be magical pixie dust!

Im14Fun, it is a thought but think your genes play a part in the elasticity of your skin as does age. I am 52 next week and was discussing my goal weight with my nut - he said that as you get closer to your target, the older you are, what happens to your face and neck does come into play... So although I know what weight I would like to be, he said I might want to stop two or three pounds before then if I felt I was losing my face.

I am happy with how I look, no loose skin or droopy bits. But as ProudGrammy says, I would rather be a bit wrinkly than fat! Can deal with that....

Anyhoo, you look too young to worry about looking old :-)))))

I'm convinced by the time this is all over, I will likely be bald and wrinkly, but hopefully i'll also be skinny!

I have lines on my face that I did not have before I lost all my weight. But I would rather look older then be over 100 pounds over weight.

Botox and Juvaderm, don't ever go without!

Well... At 47 yep I look a little older, because. UMMMM... I AM!

I'm good with it it's life and I've lived a fair bit of it already.

Well I've always looked like a kid. It's genetic. My mom and my sisters look younger than their years.

I get carded all the time. I'm hoping the weight loss doesn't age me. So far it hasn't. But even if it did, it is so worth it to have the health and energy of a younger person.

I am 52 and have had only positive comments that I look 10-15 years younger since losing weight. Maybe this will happen to you too!

Yeah, I think I look old and tired. But everyone keeps telling me how much younger I look.

But then, I don't see the 52 lbs I've lost. I only see the 30 lbs I have left to lose. It's all living around my waist.

I think maybe we're too hard on ourselves.

Botox, juvederm, restylane, photo facials and collagen treatments are all in order to keep my mug happy

I'm basically 40 and all I use it coconut oil.
