Hate to be a bummer, and embarrassed to share, but does that tired sagging face ever go away after losing weight? Went from an xl to a med so running is easier and I look better in clothes, but everything has just dropped. I'm sure it doesn't help that I am 55, but does the skin ever tighten up after weight loss?

Hi, Mitzi,

Probably not - I lost a bunch (100+) five years ago; and noticed that my face started looking older right away - I'm 42 now but people often think I'm older.

Sorry for the bad news...

Skin *can* tighten up after weight loss, but as a 55 year old woman, a lot of the elasticity is gone, so it would take much longer, if it's still able to at all.

Real PITA. ><

You'll just have to grow the muscles to make you look younger again! :p
