I Have More Wrinkles Than Ever

[Lisa74 39]

Im three months post op and i have dropped 54 lbs and im seeing more wrikles and lines everyday..do you have any suggestions that could help

I think more wrinkles and lines are to be expected because your face is getting thinner. You might try antioxidants, time in the sauna, mud baths or even Botox. There are lots of different strategies depending on what you are willing to do. Of course, I am generally ok with any wrinkles because I am a guy. Some others might have some more practical solutions.

It gets better with time. I do use an OTC face firming cream and keep super hydrated. You can and should also do facial exercises...but over time the skin seems to adapt to your changing face and body. The story isn't over until the fat lady is skinny! My skin keeps adapting to my loss, so at first I thought this was how it was gonna be, but you know what, my skin is hugging my bone structure more and it's not worse at all...thats why I think they say not to do plastics until you are two years after goal, because the skin keeps changing as it heals. The skin is the largest organ in our bodies and it takes time to heal properly and respond to changes. It needs time to catch up.

I sure hope it gets better. Thanks and I have thought about botox maybe that will be my 100 pound present for myself. And where do I buy otc cream?

My face is more wrinkly, but then I expect that at 56. I'm considering fillers, botox, laser treatment, or a little lift. Or I may just learn to live with it. Wrinkled or not, I look way younger at an appropriate weight for my height.

I do drink lots of Water and I use a moisturizing cream.

OTC means over the counter. :-) loreal has some good ones- try the ones for aging skin, they target wrinkles! And make sure that you use an eye cream for your eye area. If you use face cream in the eye area, it can cause millia, and make your eyes puffy. And not in a good way. Hope that helps! (I'm a makeup artist.)

It has been one week and I am only 28 but I see my hands and legs and they look pretty wrinkly and dry. I have been trying to drink plenty of Water but I know and it's clear that something is going on under the skin.. Maybe it's part of the weight loss process.
