There is a common problem amongst those who lose weight when they are in their forties, fifties or older. While losing weight can be a healthy change for your body, you may not be happy with the change to your face. Losing weight when you are mid-life or older can make your face look years older. One option is to consider a facelift to give you a more youthful appearance for your face to match your healthier, slimmer body.
When you face is plumper, the skin is stretched, but less likely to sag or show deep lines. When you lose weight, the plumpness is gone and the skin and tissues in your face can sag. This can cause heavy jowls, sagging on the neck and flatness in the midface region. You may love the way your clothes fit and how your body looks after losing weight, but your face may not match your new body.
A facelift can help give you a more youthful appearance and reverse affects that occurred due to your weight loss. A deep plane facelift can lift tissue and skin to smooth lines around the nose and mouth, while lifting sagging at the jowls and neck. You can achieve a more youthful appearance that will fit your healthier body and help you feel confident in how you look.
If you have lost weight and are not happy with the changes it caused in your face, schedule a consultation to meet with an experienced facial plastic surgeon. They can offer solutions to improve the appearance of your face to match your slimmer figure, including a facelift.
