Hi, Those of you who have had a face lift have you  had any problem  with your skin loosening on the face since our skin does not have as much elasticitisy from it being stretched and then loosing all the weight.   Thanks Gail

Hi, I recently did a post and asked questions about facelifts, here is that post:
http://www.obesityhelp.com/forums/plasticsurgery/3924554/POS T-OP-Face-Lift-Neck-Lift-Questions-happiness-regrets/#316378 66

It doesn't have your specific question, but there is quite a bit of info.  Also, Mari recommended the website: www.makemeheal.com, there are alot of people posting about face/neck lifts.

Good luck,

HI Gail,

Haven't had mine yet, it is coming up on 5/11.  I plan to eat my protein drink with my pro-care nutritional supplement and soft proteins for easy chewing or no chewing.  So cottage cheese, yogurt and I haven't thought about other possibilities yet.  Some kind of meat that is good very tender as well.

Hi Gail
I had the works and my surgeon said that mine will last about 15 years so i will be 70 amd by then WHO Cares lol
Actually also it wasnt a  bad recovery for me nd I was back to work in 10 days ( 2 weeks ) ...
I wear makeup of course for the samll brusing that still lingered but the results were amazing ....
You will love it  as the results get better and i saw the best after about 4 months actually ..I am now 5 months out ..
Hugs
