Sagging Skin on Jawline After Fraxel- What Should I Do?

KatmomApr 26, 2013
I had a fraxel laser to my lovely skin about 7 months ago now and everyday I get more and more depressed. I have sagging skin and lines on my face that I never had before. It seems as if all my fat left my face and sagged to my chin and jaw line area. Has this happened to anyone and has anyone had a neck lift to help repair the damage ? Please, someone help me!
