I am in my mid twenties and two years ago I lost 60 lbs. Prior to both my weight gain and weight loss I had a full face. I was known for having chubby cheeks. Now my weight loss has left my face deflated. My cheeks slimmed down but only in the middle of my face. Suddenly my cheekbones are super prominent. And I have this pouch of fat next to my chin that has this slightly droopy appearance. In addition to hollow under eyes and smile lines all of a sudden.

Answer: Face after weight loss At your age I’m sure you don’t need a facelift. Many doctors will recommend facial fillers or even fat grafting. I would find it hard to imagine that any of these are worth the cost since they require repeat injections. But if you want to try them it’s your decision

Answer: Volume Loss Treatment Hello, hope you are well. Thank you for your question! There are many, many options to restore volume and treat skin laxity after significant weight loss. Cheek augmentation ranges from dermal fillers to fat grafting to silicone implants. Skin tightening procedures are also sometimes necessary. Before embarking on your journey you should feel confident that you have attained a relatively stable weight that you are happy with. The exact plan should be determined with in-person consultation, but this can be a helpful forum to provide suggestions if you wish to share photos. Best,Dr. Tower
