Fillers? Botox? Who's had them ?

Sooooo.....Since losing 125 lbs so far (30 more to go) I have aged so much!!!  My face has dropped, and I have the banding in my neck that makes me look 100 years old, I am 45. I always had a youthfull appearence and this freaks me out and I hate it. I was wondering others experiences and if they have had fillers to help or what have you? I am open to a face lift but can't afford one now......trust me it is soooo in my future though, even before tummy tuck ect!  Please share if you have had some work done and how much do the fillers ect help?

Thanks, Leslie

I am 32, but I started getting botox around my eyes and forhead last year...also underneath my mouth to keep the corners of my mouth from always going downward. I love it!!

You know, they have a non-invasive affordable "quick lift" for the face...I don't know much about it but I heard it's only around $1000 and can help with neck sag a lot!

DO you know what they use for the neck sag with this lift?

"Only $1000"...yeah, that's still a lot, but cheaper than what a full face lift would cost!

I am 59 now, I  had a face lift 2 years ago, I only needed it cause I lost 100 lbs, I dont think thos string face lifts will help with our drastic weight loss, we need the skin pulled & cut off.
I had botox last year on my forehead cause that doesn  get pulled in a brow lift, depending on how many units of Botox depends on the cost, I aid 10.00 a unit  500.00 the first  then 450.00 the next u need to get it every 3 to 4 month so to me I thought it was a waste I m going for a brow lift now,  I figured ifi could pay 500 every 3 months for botox i could pay Care Credit hat money & get a real brow lift, the fillers r only temporary and if u hve turkey neck  they dont work, check out my facial photos

Thanks for the replies ladies =) Good to hear there are things that work.

Angelaann: Do you know what the lift is that is $1000? Is it a mix of fillers and botox? I think I have heard about that on TV and magazines. The place I went to just fillers in your laugh lines was $900 which I was like....Damn! It is something I really want but wanted to get some insight from others to see if they were really happy with it. Sounds like most are thrilled =) Just got start saving!

A few years back, I had Restylane put into my lips....for me, it was a huge waste of money...for the first couple of weeks, I looked ridiculous and overplumped, like duck lips...and then once it looked good, it only lasted a couple of months...it cost me $1500!  By about 6 months out, it was like I never did it....so I never went back in for re-fills.

 I had filler and Botox didn't really see a big enough change to make it worth the money now I'm saving for a face lift never thought I would want one seeing Joan rivers and all but I turn 50 in a couple weeks and after weight loss the skin seems to be sagging faster than ever. I hate when I smile and see all these lines folding in my cheeks and my neck I can't even talk about it but still rather be thin and wrinkled lol

I love botox but like others have said, it only last 3-4 months. It makes more sense to save the money for a lift.
