Weight loss can create more facial laxity

Ran Y. Rubinstein, MD answers: Should I wait for my face to adjust after weight loss before I go through Affirm Laser and Sculptra?

I just lost 30 lbs, and I'd like to know, are there any advantages to waiting for the face to adjust before going through Affirm Laser and Sculptra procedures?

I would not wait as you will see that you will probably notice additional facial volume loss with your weight loss. This is a good thing under chin but not in your cheeks, temples, and lower eyelids which may appear more volume depleted. I would recommend starting your injections with the understanding that you may need additional treatments. Congratulations on your weight loss.
