When you are younger excess weight will make you look older/frumpier. When you get older ( usually mid to late 40's to early 50's, you start losing facial fat. Couple that with low body weight and you will look older. This was confirmed by both dermatologist and plastic surgeon--- before someone jumps all over me, there are always exceptions to the rule.

This is why Liz Taylor gained weight to play Cleopatra.

I think excess weight makes you look old too. I saw a friend I had not seen in years. She is very pretty, but wow, she looks so matronly with all thay mid section fat. It works both ways.

What age does this problem start? I'm 35 and have not yet gotten a wrinkle. I'm also thin. When does this problem set in so I have a dermatologist lined up?

Sorry ladies, but Faisal fat naturally decreases with age. Lose a bunch of weight on top of that and you are going to look older.

My 55 yr old sister lost lots of weight and her face is a bit saggy but I think the face fat has kept the wrinkles away (I'm thinner but wrinklier). OP, consult with a derm to see if fillers can help.

Maybe what DCUM needs is a Lush Party! Trying out some fresh masks might be just the thing. I could really use some ayesha now. It takes of some years for a nice evening out. Seriously, maybe what you need is a nice spa treatment to brighten your day.

My sister did this. She's skinny, but boy does she look old!

My friend keeps telling me not to lose anymore weight for this reason exactly (looking older). I too have lost all my girlish curves (boobs, hips, butt) and look like a prepubescent girl (sigh), and still I have a small layer of belly fat I still wish would go away. Not sure how much more I can lose. I wake up in the morning and look at myself in the mirror and say "EWWWW", not plesant at all.

Depressing but true.

OP here. I don't know much about fillers. Is it different than Botox?

lipo and facelift

+100 fillers takes the years off!

Yep, same thing happened to me. When you lose fat, unfortunately it comes off your face and neck too, and lines appear. I guess you could do fillers and get a boob job.

Has anyone else done what they need to do to get the body they wanted but your face suffered the consequences? Yes, I'm stronger, I'm faster and healthier and have abs that can definitely rock a bikini but it's like I lost my love handles only to gain smile lines. And lets not even start to talk about how tiny my tatas are now. Though I know I only deserve to hear the tune from the world's smallest violin, anyone out there have a remedy that doesn't involve donuts and full-calorie beer?
