I know there is a plastic surgery forum and I am active there, but wanted to ask this here. Has anyone had a facelift? For most of us losing 200+ pounds does a real number on our faces. I hate that my face is sooooooooo saggy around my mouth and would love a facelift. The rest of my face and my neck look OK, just maybe a mid-facelift??

Just curious to hear if anyone has any insight.

I have no intentions of doing that. I did arms and boobs and will do legs and stomach when lose more.  I know that there are some great new non-surgical options now for tightening the face.  I'll accept my face or do something non-surgical.

Good luck.

I've heard Thermage works wonders. My mother has friends in the Houston area that use it.

I won't rule it out! I am fairly certain SinKim said she had one. I know exactly what you mean about loose skin around the mouth.

Thanks, everyone. My plastic surgeon does not do faces so I would have to find someone else, which scares me.

I can't afford it right now anyway. I'm just thinking ahead.
