I am 45. Until 3 months ago, I had a youthful face. I've lost weight over the last year, about 20 pounds. I weight 105 and am 5'2.5". Lines around my mouth are forming that weren't there before and I have mildly lax neck skin. I'm also wrinkling around my eyes. I've been told to stay away from lasers, as a treatment burned and scarred me. Retina-A made my pores worse. Honestly, with Ehlers-Danlos, what are my options for this aging -- do I have any? Or is my best course to regain a few pounds?
