B/C of undiagnosed medical conditions (Lyme, pituitary tumor, hypothyroid disease) I rapidly gained 65+ lbs & lost it, plus some, just as fast. I spent 5 years in hospitals, docs & bed ridden. Now that I'm starting to get my health & life back, I just want to look like I did 5y ago at age 32. Mostly b/c I don't recognize myself in a mirror since my short term memory was compromised during it all. What are my options to turn the clock back a bit so I can make up lost time? Thnx for reading!!

Answer: Post-Weight Loss Changes Good Afternoon! There are definitely options to improve your facial youthfulness. Non-surgical options like fillers can work well depending on the area. If you have a targeted area, for example like the cheeks, it can help to determine the amount needed. As you may know, fillers don't last more than about 8-12 months on average, so maintenance is needed. Fat transfer is a great option. It uses your natural filler from around your belly button for volumization of the face. It lasts 5-10 years on average and can be quite smooth. If sagging skin is a problem, a mini face or necklift procedure may be best. Hope this is helpful to you!

Answer: Happy with post-weight loss body, but now hate looking in mirror, what are my options? Congrats on getting back to yourself! Happy for you. In terms of answering your question, it might be better for you to be a bit more specific with your goals. As we age, everyone wants to turn back the clock a bit but there is no all encompassing fountain of youth. Are you looking for surgical correction of something specific? Or maybe you are looking to hide some lines and wrinkles with something like Botox, or give some areas some additional fullness with injectables? Or maybe you are looking for a skin refresh with something like a chemical peel, laser treatment, or microneedling? The most important thing you can do as you age is work with a provider to develop a plan for combatting aging changes before they happen. Reach out and let's have a discussion!
