Jowls?

For those out there who have lost, does your face firm up? I find myself with sagging cheeks, is it age or being over-weight?

When I lost the weight, most people noticed it in my face first. I also saw this great old video of Jack LaLanne where he does all these facial movements/exercises to tighten up the muscles in the face. If you search at youtube.com you can find them... here's one link... YouTube - Jack Lalanne - Face Workout 1 of 30

Thanks will look into that further...

Yeah, people already notice a major difference in my face.

Unless you are extremely young, when you lose, it takes a while to firm back up. When you empty out the fat cells, it's like partially deflating a balloon--it won't be as tight for a while. The good news is that it should firm and tighten back up. Just keep drinking extra water and exercising your whole body.

I started out at nearly 300 pounds and had a lot of "face" and chins. I was 55 years old at the time. Here are some pictures to show how my sagging and loose skin tightened back up.

Are you sure you didnt get a little nip and tuck!??? Just Kidding! You look terrific Sunny! It does look like your face totally firmed right back up.

I doubt that will happen for my boobs thou. shucks.

wow sunny there may be hope for me yet, nice photos you have a great smile

Actually I am 42 unfortunately the sagging came with the weight gain -not the loss. I think its because I'm old and fat !!!(just for chuckles, not putting myself down) I was just hoping that someone out there could give me some hope. You had a lovely before and after face.

The face will come back -- our lovely Sunny is proof positive....and she is right, you need more water daily to help your body repair itself inside and out....

Shelly, I'm thinking you may never have a "perky" chest area...not without some nip/tuck but at least you'll have less fat hanging from just below your shoulders! Unlike men, we are lucky there, a good fitting bra and no one knows!!

Yes Carol I agree, they were going downhill before I even gained all the weight!

Hey, if I could afford it I certainly would do a little nipping and tucking in that area!
