I am 30 years old, and already have some signs of aging like some sagging in my face. I want to lose 40 pounds of weight but I am worried about increasing the sagging in my face. This is why i have not started yet. Since i think prevention works better than after-treatments, I want to know is there is anything i can do to avoid sagging in my face before and while loosing weight? I am not worried about the sagging in my body since with gym I can avoid that. Many thanks in advance!!!!
