I am fairly young, (31, will turn 32 before surgery. Surgery is 11/25, my birthday is 11/13), but one of my biggest concerns is losing too much in the fa

I look old now! I guess I should expect my face to turn to dust when I'm done!

Edifying us! What does the Botox do? I wouldn't have thought it would help. Thank you for any info you can provide!

Botox paralyzes the muscles that form wrinkles. It relaxes the wrinkles since the muscle cannot contract. Great for crow's feet and forehead lines.

You look younger. Your lucky

hard to say. I grew a beard at the same time and it came in black, unlike the little hair i have on top. most people say i look younger. but peoples estimate are highly influenced by non visual cues, such as how people act and move. the confidence and mobility that we can get with weight loss can make us seem younger.

I've lost 70 lbs so far and everyone tells me that I look younger.

I'm 51, and up until 5-10 pounds ago, I think I've been looking better - neither younger or older. However, my neck is really looking bad, so I think that makes me look older. The only fix for that is a knife, and I'm going to have something done. In the past 5-10 pounds, I've been starting to think I look like what I call a "weight-loss victim". Slightly deeper labial nasal folds, marionette lines around the mouth, and fine wrinkles around my eyes. I had botox this week for those fine lines, and I think I'll be getting fillers for the mouth and nose. So, I guess that's a really long answer to the question - I look older than I want to, so I feel the need to intervene, lol. But even if I didn't have anything done, I still think I look better than before

I look and feel A LOT younger! I'm 31 and I look to be in my early/mid 20s- when I get hit on they can't believe I'm 31 (married and with 2 kids!)

I thought I looked older for a couple of months after surgery' date=' but my friends have convinced me that I look so much younger. What do you think?

Before surgery

5 months post op, 56 lbs down

I'm 43 and was told I looked a lot younger. They may have been pulling my leg when they said 19 and 23.

I would have guessed mid-20's, early 30's at most.

Well thanks but those days are long gone, Lol

Here I am before! I'm 38 in this photo. And here's a selfie from last week. you decide. I'm 41 and I've always looked a lot younger. Now I am looking more my age.. and I expect to look even older as I shed more pounds... I have made peace with it.. To me the youthful appearance that excess weight provides does not necessarily mean you LOOK BETTER fat. just younger. I liken it to people with ridiculously long beautiful hair.. their HAIR might look amazing, but the individual would probably look overall better with a cute hairstyle that flattered their face. ..... so yeah I'll take the hit in the "youthful face" department because overall I'm looking and feeling better than ever.

No you don't look older and you look happier! Keep up the good work.
