I lost 15 pounds and 16 inches on a 80 day program. Which has worsened my puffy under eyes and caused sunken mid face which has aged me. I also had fine lines develop corner of eyes / under eyes and smile lines which I believe is due to volume loss and tanning . I quit tanning and have been doing cleanser , moisturizer, and sunscreen daily. This is effecting my mental health as i feel so much older. Do i need a face lift? Im only 27.

Answer: Facelift candidate I don't recommend a facelift at this time, because you don't have enough skin laxity. I would recommend volume enhancement using a number of techniques ranging from fat to synthetic fillers which will help symmetry. Once facial aging progresses to skin laxity and dissent, I recommend a micro or many facelift. I actually have found that patients who get treated surgically sooner end up looking better longer.

Answer: I lost a lot of weight quickly what can I do for my face? A quick weight loss can create a deflation in the face, but if you are young and have good skin quality, it may improve with time. Just make sure you are not dehydrated. The best way to replace the facial volume for you would be by fat grafting. You just have to make sure that you don't regain the weight. Obviously the fillers are effective as well but they would need to be done every 6 months or every years and that could be expensive at your age. Your picture show minimal facial laxity, but I think a facelift is not indicated in your case. You really would need to be examined to get a valid answer.
