Face and body sagged post-partum, age 32 (photo)

Embugs94
Im 32, have fluctauted weight my whole life but have mostly always been overweight, I also have 3 children. My face held up well throughout weight changes and pregnancies and I never noticed any slight aging along the way. After my 3rd (8 months ago) my whole face just changed overnight and my mental health is rock bottom because of it. I looked well after delivery, felt happy and was my normal self. Around 3 month post partum I began to have this sensation that my face skin felt like it was just rolling around my face and felt disconnected, all wobbly and loose. I have tried lots of focused skin care sinse and it has only gotten worse and worse! In the space of 4 months I have completely lost my identity, I have pre jowls, marionette lines, a down turned smile, hooded eyes, flat cheeks, hollowed eyes and awful loose skin flaps either side of my mouth, under my jaw is lax and loose, and my neck is also loose and is rolling up which feels very uncomfortable as every slight turn or angle change it all rolls up I feel like I'm suffocating under it. I weigh exactly the same as I did a week after having the baby yet my whole face and body too has sagged. I cry looking in the mirror and I have to do something about it. My body I can cover, I've never had. A great body to begin with, I don't claim to have had. A great face either but it was the only part of me that was the real Me at least, and the rest could be improved on. But now I don't even have that.
