I would love to get something less invasive done since mine are not yet bad.  I mostly notice the shadow underneath than the actual bags at this point.  Then there's the lower part of my face, mostly everything below my nose and between and including the marionette lines.

What I did was get an appointment for a consultation first to discuss what I wanted done and then the doctor suggested what my options were from there. Consultations around here run around $100.  Everyone has different skin and structure so what might be good for me might not be good for someone else.

@cheriere --stupid teeth!!!! My teeth turned to the dark side ever since I had chemo for breast cancer ---no one told me THAT was a thing either--they haven't fallen out but have had more tiny cavities almost every 6 months since. I often wonder about dentures too, instead of implants and whatever else there is--have a few friends in the dental field that scream  NOOOO---try to keep what teeth you have!!! Are they crazy?? I don't know, but I have all mine still.

@SilleeMee --yes-- that is what I would do as well. And I think that first consult would be free, where I am. But am sure that is more  a basic info appt---the more in depth exam would cost.

If you still have all of them and are only dealing with a few cavities here and there, KEEP THEM!  After my aunt went through chemo, she ended up having so many dental problems she went ahead & got dentures.

Bless her heart, they literally started just breaking off.  Chemo must really do a number on them.

My other two aunts got those implants that are like magnetic dentures.  The dr puts two on top and two on the bottom and that holds them in.  But, they have to come out at night for cleaning.  Plus, they cost a lot too!

I'm not even guaranteed my implants will not fail either.  May the Good Lord Please not allow this, but it's true.  If they don't fuse right to the bone or something goes badly wrong infection wise, I guess I'd be out what's already been spent on my top teeth.  Plus, I'd be out of top teeth!!!  I'd have to get a denture then.  They say if something is gonna go wrong it's almost always with the uppers.  I guess since they're so close to the sinuses too.

Had I been able to afford it, I'd have had my bottom teeth done at the same time.  I still have bottom teeth, just none to chew on lol.  The back three on both sides are missing.  The dr acted like it would cost just as much to get those implants as my whole bottom teeth.  That's why she recommended doing it like this.  She said if in the future you don't, you'll have to spend the same amount to get them done anyways.

I go back in the morning for my first post op checkup.  I'm praying everything is healing like it should be.🙏🤞❤️

SilleeMee consultations are free. Smart decision on their part lol. My lower face doesn't have deep lines or horrible sagging, but the laxity is getting worse with age despite using Tretinoid, good skin care products, healthy eating, water etc...
thanks for your input!
