Will my Face Be Less Droopy if I Lose Weight, or is Surgery Needed? (photo)

July 29, 2012
Asked By:Eve13

My whole face looks droopy, with hooded eyelids and lots of extra fat on my lower face, and sometimes a visible double chin. I look mad all the time when my face is relaxed. It almost looks swollen. I am overweight, but not by much. My dad is an average weight, but also has this face shape so I'm worried that it's genetic. Would significant weight loss fix my face shape, or does it require plastic surgery? If so, what kind?
