Is it likely that I have ligament damage and facial laxity after weight loss?

Asked By:Sociable7986 in Melbourne, Victoria, Australia

I am 30 years old and my weight went up and down in my twenties, probably about 12 pounds or so at a time (I'm 5'8). I am very insecure about my mid-face and sagging under my eyes and nasolabial folds. How much impact would these weight fluctuations had on my facial ligaments in my 20s? Will ligaments tighten after weight loss. Is my face showing signs of premature ageing? Can I tighten my ligaments?
