Help my face is falling

KCDiva · ‎03-09-2010

I need some advise from you smart ladies. I lost about 30 lbs and a large percentage of body fat. I am am 61 and yesterday made me decide I need to do something. I had a very full face and now I have deep marionette lines and jowls. I also have those vertical bends on my that look awful. I think it's lovingly called turkey neck. Not sure what to do with those although I did see exercises you can do to help that. I can't afford medical intervention as much as I would like to go and ask for the works. Does the Nu Face really help or not? I 've been tempted to buy it but the $300 price tag plus the reviews steered me away. I'm ready to do something. I did watch Serious Skincare on Evine and the have several products for helping lift your face even temporarily. I have tried those products that you put in and wait a few minutes and all your wrinkles go away. Didn't work for me. Help! TIA.

My experience after weight loss two years ago same thing. Nothing worked except surgery. Never regret my decision. Congratulations! Weightloss.

I have a NuFACE.It helps minimally, with minor issues.I don’t think you would be happy with it.

Congrats on your weight loss.You’re beautiful!!💐

Congrats on your weight loss

This is what I would do if I were you.

I'd consult with a dermatologist or an expert in skin care first.

There are many options now & by the time you add up what you would spend online, you could have already paid for a guaranteed solution.

Just because you go, doesn't mean you are committed.

Plus doctors can sell better products than you can find online yourself, so you may choose to go that route.

I personally have had nothing done, I used to go to a dermatologist many years ago.

But if it meant that much to me, I would certainly go, I have no qualms about having work done.

Hi KCDiva, if you're in the KC area like I am, I have a consultation with Dr. Hannah Vargas who does a Quick Lift. You might want to check out her website. I'm in the same boat as you. I lost weight and my neck looks awful. There's no cream or device that's going to really lift muscle so I'm going for it and getting the turkey neck done!

@KCDiva -

Well, you are not alone! I admire those that have the courage (or funds) to opt for some kind of surgery.

If it was me, I would just try to concentrate on the features I can enhance-your eyes, your cheekbones (think contour) and just embrace the beautiful life and you because

all those turkey necks and things don't take away from who you are as a beautiful person.

That's what I try to think and also try to ignore the mirror too much!

Agree with @software...see a derm for a consult. Who knows? He/she may have some suggestions that aren't too terribly expensive and they might offer some type of financing.

I don't think the NuFace would help you. Imo, it is for people who have minimal sagging/lines and/or as a preventative. I have the NuFace and love it. It really minimized the lines under my eyes. I took photos of different areas of my face to document if I had any improvement, and boy, did I! One eye that was very hooded hardly even has a hood any longer. Of course, I used it every day for 60 days when I first got it and now use it 3 times a week for maintenance. So following through is the key. I didn't have hardly any sagging to begin with, and I think this has helped maintain that and possibly improved it. I know it has improved small lines and wrinkles.

Sadly the first place that weight shows up is in the face. There is no miracle other than cosmetic surgery. Congratulations on your weight loss!

I love my NuFace. I would recommend it and I really have gotten nice results from the Prai Neck Cream sold on HSN. I use my NuFace everyday. I use Aloe Vera gel with my NuFace and it works just as good as the NuFace Gel. Hope this helps. (I am soon to be 70 yrs. old.)

I swear by Dr. Denese skincare products especially the Wrinkle Defense Duo (face & neck) In in the 50+and holding range and it really makes a difference.I use quite a few of her products and have had results from all of them.

When I met my friend for lunch she commented on how great my neck and face looked. I never had complicments on my skin until I started using Dr. Denese skincare.

I watch that NuFace demo every time it's a tSV but it is not budget friendly for me. I'm not one for plastic surgury either. I just want to look the best that I can fo rmy age and I think I'm doing that.

Congrats on your weight loss.
