tonetone 7 Posted December 7, 2016 I lost 70 lbs since April surgery...about 25, 30 left to go. How do I lose weight in the face...i dont have loose skin per se...but my cheeks are sagging. 42 years old, but look younger so its not that...does the face skin tighten up last?

mylighthouse 782 Posted December 7, 2016 Great question. I have lost almost 30 lbs. I'm 45 yrs. old. I hope that my face won't be this big forever.... and the saggy double chin really bothers me.

laceemouse 631 Posted December 7, 2016 Do side by side pictures of your face before and after weight loss. My guess is you both have lost a lot in your faces, everyone does. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
OutsideMatchInside 10,166 Posted December 7, 2016 Different people lose weight in different places. I lose my weight top down. The top part of my body shows the loss the most. My face slimmed down pretty fast, but I never had a really fat face or neck. If you want to lose weight in your face, just keep losing. The weight has to come from some place and it will come from everywhere as you keep losing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LittleBill 2,231 Posted December 7, 2016 I am losing weight sort of like @@OutsideMatchInside - from the top down. I just posted two days ago about my helmet I wear for work fitting looser, especially around my cheeks. I just hope the loss continues, and rapidly. I would hate to end up looking like a pear. http://www.bariatricpal.com/topic/384197-i-guess-i-really-did-have-a-fat-head-nsv/ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
OutsideMatchInside 10,166 Posted December 7, 2016 I'm not pear shaped either. It just seems like the excess weight I had at top wasn't as stubborn as the rest of the weight. That weight came off really fast and it made a big impact because I didn't have all that neck fat that some people have. Like I could always wear normal chokers and stuff.

I did not mean to imply you were, so please forgive me if that was the impression I gave. I would have no idea. I was just expressing a concern about how I am losing weight from the top down, although my nether regions seem to have diminished somewhat as well. It looks like my spare tire is going to be the last to go, which is what inspired my pear shaped comment. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
OutsideMatchInside 10,166 Posted December 7, 2016 I didn't think you were. I am just saying it seemed to be a less stubborn fat. I have lost fat equally all over but it seems like when you lose it above your ribs it makes a huge impact very fast. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I can create ill will well enough with strong statements without having to do it unintentionally. The whole "above your ribs" thing might be less of an issue for me, but I do feel like everything is going before my middle. That's not 100% rational, but it is my perception nonetheless.

OutsideMatchInside 10,166 Posted December 7, 2016 Most of my weight was in my middle, so what I have left is in my middle. It is frustrating but it is what it is. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Well I am working real hard at getting my V shape back, only with muscles showing again. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
