Sagging face questions



Recommended Posts

Hello, one of my biggest concerns after surgery is loose skin on my face. I carry alot of my weight in my face so I know I will have sagging. However, I am 24 and skin bounces back easier. I am still concerned. Any tips for to prevent this???

Minimizing sagging skin on the face is the same as loose skin everywhere else. A lot depends on genetics, age, and other things outside of your control. The steps you can take are to stay well hydrated, moisturize daily, and take your Vitamins (possibly some extra Vitamin C and beef gelatin).

I am over twice your age, lost 150# and I don't have too much of a problem with this. Be optimistic, and I can assure you I look better with one, not 3 chins. :)

I find if I smile a lot, the saggy skin is gone. So I suppose I look annoyingly happy all the time now? ????

I've lost 140 pounds too! I think my face looks great except for some extra wrinkles on my neck and when I add lots of lotion it seems to be better. So my recommendation moisturizer or lotion every day maybe even twice a day.

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

      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

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
