I’m a thirty-nine year old female who wants to maintain youthful facial appearance while losing weight and after as well. I have enlarged pores in the normal areas for my age as well as see fine lines around my eyes and on my eyelids. I would like to reduce pores, fine lines, and eyelid lines as well as freckling that has appeared over the last few years. I’m afraid that I’ll give up my weight loss/health journey if I see aging in my face and neck. What can I do?

Answer: Laser Resurfacing It's best to get evaluated once you get down to a consistent weight. Then, the specialist that you see can recommend treatments knowing that there won't be weight fluctuations that affect the treatment plan. It's common that patients with weight loss lose fat in their cheeks as well. You can be benefit from fillers to replace the volume that you've lost. Good Luck!

Answer: Weight loss and laser resurfacing Thanks for the question although it is somewhat complicated. It is true that significant weight loss frequently can cause more folds and sagging of the face. It doesn't generally cause an increase in fine lines. Volume is generally used to correct the effects of weight loss in the face with the use of fillers and occasionally even surgery (eg face lift) is needed. Laser resurfacing doesn't really correct sagging caused by weight loss. It is much better at improving the tone of the skin and reducing fine wrinkling. Find your happy weight, be healthy, and find a provider that can address your concerns at that point!
