Vain not vein question

I have been reading all about loose skin on this board and haven't seen anything about facial wrinkles. Im no spring chicken (48) and I'm afraid my face will just be covered in new wrinkles (I've never liked the old ones!). Any experience out there or am I just being vain.

Ps I do realize being healthy is my ultimate goal! But being pretty AND healthy appeals to me more!!

    My wife has used it for several years now due to natural wrinkling. She never had surgery. I think it is one of her natural beauty secrets.

  • I shall steal her beauty secrets!! Wish me luck

  • I look 16 again... So it did the opposite to me as many people look younger after they loose the weight.

I am 65 years old. After gastric bypass surgery, my skin became extremely wrinkled, like paper crinkles. Overnight, I began to look a hundred years old. My wife suggested I use Bio-Oil available at CVS. I apply it once each morning and that takes care of the problem.

@@LisaRu yes there are many people who lose weight and the stretched skin on the face deflates and leaves wrinkles. The problem is that everyone is different so there's no for sure way to find out if you will until you hit goal. I didn't have wrinkles, in fact looked a decade younger.

Nothing wrong with wanting to look nice and attractive, just my opinion. :) I hope it works out for you and if not, that's what fillers or plastic surgery is for!

I think the surgery took about 10 years off my face. I do have the turkey neck fat under my chin. As I lose weight, it seems to tighten up. :D
