I have lots of wrinkles on my face. I lost weight and my face has sagged. Will Botox get rid of them?

Thank you very much for your question, and congratulations on your weight loss. Unfortunately, weight loss can leave behind sagging, lax skin. Dermal fillers can be used to restore lost facial volume and plump wrinkles that result from a loss of tissue elasticity. Botox, on the other hand, works best on dynamic wrinkles, or those caused by repetitive movement. My suggestion is that you schedule a consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon, who can explain all of the available options to smooth your skin and restore a youthful appearance.

Thank you for your question.  Without a photograph, it is difficult to recommend a course of action.  That being said, Botox treatments are a good option to soften wrinkling caused by muscle contracture.  Skin laxity is often corrected with dermal fillers and/or surgical procedures.  Best to seek an in-person consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon to explore the options.  Good luck.

Thank you for your question!  Typically Botox is used to help smooth wrinkles in the face that are caused by facial motion. In other words, wrinkles formed from the natural motion of the forehead and between the eyes can be dramatically reduced by relaxing these muscles.  It sounds as if you have had loosening and sagging of skin after weight loss, which may need to be tightened and/or redraped.  I would consult with a board certified facial plastic or plastic surgeon who specializes in facial rejuvenation for a full evaluation.  You may be a candidate for facial fillers or for a surgical procedure such as a facelift.  I hope that this helps!-David Gilpin
