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 think time helped my face alot. I have been at goal almost a year and I get alot more comments on how young I look now. I do have some neck wattle but I am lucky it isnt too bad.

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.

In a heartbeat!!! I just turned 60 Jan 2nd and my face gets more and more wrinkles and crevasses. LOL. Especially since live lost another 10 pounds. Seems like in the last few months it has gotten worse. My neck improved some with the extra weight loss for some reason but am , I would love to just do neck and bottom of face.

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?

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
