If you have lost an excessive amount of weight and are bothered by sagging facial skin, take heart because there is hope. Sagging skin after losing weight is quite normal. Do not let this from preventing you from losing weight. Weight loss is a very healthy attitude in terms of your health. If could save your life.
Exercise will definitely help you to get the skin tone back for some people. Some people, however, are not as fortunate and must deal with the excess skin that comes from being very overweight and then shrinking back down. Sagging skin can also develop from a yo-yoing weight pattern. Either way, the end results are worth it, as excessive weight is a precursor to heart disease.
If you can live with the sagging skin then certainly you should do so. You have improved your health by losing weight and the sagging skin tone is just a cosmetic problem. If exercising to help you tone the muscle is just not working or working like you had hoped, you may consider undergoing a procedure known as a rhytidectomy.
A rhytidectomy can be performed first by undergoing a facelift. After the facelift the extra skin is dealt with. Since your face looks better with more volume to it, which is completely the opposite of your body (having less volume), you will need to fill in the areas that sag. This is done with fillers, such as Botox. Approximately five or six injections are required to achieve the desired effects. As with any surgery, a rhytidectomy is not without risk. In terms of your appearance, it will most likely change dramatically. Think seriously before undergoing this procedure. You, your family, and friends might see you as a completely different person than your prior self.
