I am older than you and I have some syndromes that make my weight fluctutae when you are 5' 4 1/2 5 lbs takes a toll. I had my gall bladder taken out and the surgeon wanrned me to make sure I kept that healing skin toned and not to just thibk it would hel smoothly. I have dropped weight and my stomach looks like crepe paper.I wonder if excercise helps or itf there is a micro suction to flatten out the belly. I also suddenly have vericose veins from the body changes. Good luck

Very good information so far Drs.Thak you!

I have always been very careful in checking out the Drs. or faciliites I am going to use. Joan Kron of Allure magazine once told us "you get what you pay for" is very true as well as be informed first. I have had Juvederm in my NLF's this time the Nurse used more on one side or it seemed, I have gone there before. It is about 2 months later and I have noticed that the ropey feel has drifted inward to my cheek and is still a tab bumpy at each end.
I have given it enough time, spent enough money and I am going back to see the drematologist that runs the medi spa. Thanks for you posts I am not going to let it go.

Dr. Stevens thank you for your time and wisdom.
Might I ask you if a neck lift that is really a result of bad lipo 10 years ago can be best treated?The neck is just sort of jiggly under the chin where it never quite healed right. An RN who does injections told me that Botox may not be a good idea. I hate the bands or as I refer to them rings of Saturn. I will e-mail you pictures when I can.

I wish there was a an actual way to make all these things disapear. I would call it TRANSPORT for it could take us back to when we needed not to pay for our transforming our older faces and have the wisdom without the cost and emotional stretch marks..LOL..Until than I am interested in the good Dr. fight not the unreal idea of transporting back in time. Oh wouldn't it be cool though?Funny how when we approach a landmark age how everyone else that is a few years older seems old to us? Than we take it back.
