Solutions for loose facial skin

Jeffrey E. Schreiber, MD answers: Solutions for extremely loose facial skin?

I have very loose skin that doesn't seem to stay on my facial bone. It's like mush, has no structure at all. Could it have something to do with my facial muscles? I've had this problem since I was 21, and I'm now 30. I've tried everything, but nothing has worked for me. What could this be, and can something be done about it?

Because of your age, it's unlikely that a facelift is what you need without looking at your pictures.  You may have a skin disorder, such as cutis laxa or Ehlers Danlos syndrome.  Check with your dermatologist to see if a skin biopsy is indicated.  However, if all is well with your skin structure then you may want to consider a facelift.
