Excess facial skin after weight loss - would I benefit from a fat transfer or facelift after hitting my goal weight? (photos)

November 8, 2023
Asked By:Fearless603551 in Wichita, Kansas

I have lost around 60 lbs in 2 months and noticed alot of excess skin, especially on my cheeks and jaw. Im a 35 year old male, 6 ft 2, around 235 lbs. I know I still need to lose around 20 lbs or so to hit my goal weight. Would I need a facelift and fat transfer once I hit my goal? I feel like Ive aged 10 years in 2 months.
