Plastics on you face. Would you or did you ?



Recommended Posts

I know most of us seriously contemplate plastics such as breastlift n Tummy Tuck but what about face work? I never thought I would b one to consider it but since losing weight my under chin area is seriously sagging. Does it tighten up any after awhile? Im 49 going on 50 soon. I know I'm ok with everything else concerning my face..I think its a blessing to grow older but without the excess skin under the chin.

Of course I would have plastics on my face if I dislike a sagging neck, chin, jowls etc. with today's technology there is a whole lot going on...search all treatment avenues available. I always told my husband that I would get one when I feel I need it. I have funds marked as my facelift money fund. Haha. I am kind of lucky cause I have really good body tone so my face or neck is not there yet for a lift. However, I have had juvederm injected by my mouth for some creases. It lasts for two years. If u do consider having one soon.. Do your homework and find a reputable plastic surgeon. Ps my sister had a facelift years ago and still looks 10 years younger with her neck and face lift.

I don't know much about plastic surgery, but I have to say those Lifestyle Lift commercials on TV look pretty convincing! :)

Having swapped at least 2 chins for a slightly wrinkly neck, know what I prefer, lol - and I would have a neck lift to sort it if it gets worse or really bothers me. As for my face, I am happy to age gracefully :-)

I had a face lift. I could not stand the way my face and neck looked after I lost weight.

i went to Mexico. He's supposed to be a very good surgeon. However, my face is still numb after over 2 years. I've heard of others that have numbness that never goes away, but I really don't know how common it is. I hate the way it feels, but I love the way it looks.

A few years ago I lost 75 pounds and hated my saggy neck. So at 32 years old I had a neck lift with fat transferred to my face and lips. Best money I ever spent!!

When I go to a new doctor and they ask my surgical history they are shocked to hear of someone as young as me getting plastic surgery. And it also looks so natural you would never know it!

My mom had bypass 5 years ago and lost weight quickly. All my friends said they thought she looked better heavier, but i think it was just because of the loose skin on her face and neck. She just turned 48 and her skin has tightened up a lot from what it was and no one thinks she's pushing 50! If she did use any serums or lotions it would have been from Walmart and probably generic brand because that is how my mom rolls.

I would if I needed to. So far fillers and Botox are doing the job.

I love my face lift I am 61 and people tell me I look 45 all the time. I just wish my face was not numb.

He changed the whole shape of my face. I used to have a very round face. He sucked out all the fat and now I have cheekbones.

I will definitely explore fillers but don't know too much about them. I wish my neck wattle was gone....but I would feel uncomfortable changing my face drastically just because...

Daisy I am so glad you mention the numbness because I have a numb belly button and it's weird. I really have to consider that numbness risk to the face carefully.

I would really like to find more people who have had a face lift and find out if this numbness is realy common.

I keep wondering if he had not removed so much fat out of my face, if the numbness would be the same. I don't know where the nerves get cut.

I am a nurse for a plastic surgeon. He does a lot of face work and the numbness happens to everyone. not to be graphic but the nerve endings have to reattach to the new face and it takes a while to do that. Same with someone that has liposuction. The nerve endings are detached. It could last up to 6 months. How long ago was your surgery?

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks
