Face Lifting Without Surgery?

[ShrinkingViolet]

My always chubby cheeks are now deflated and I look like I have a permanent frown . Aside from making a constant effort to smile , does anyone have any product recommendations/recipes to help with this without surgery? Preferably nothing too expensive.

I've been using all Oil of Olay products since surgery. The mini peel, the night reconstructor.. the PRO-X line is fabulous! and I think I love Aveeno lotion. Seems the more hydrated my skin is, the better my face (and everything else!) looks.

Keep smiling!!

Mostly I've been washing with MSM soap and using MSM lotion. Also I'm trying face yoga, . I found it on you tube. I think after a little time some of the looseness will go back. I take flaxseed oil or omegas, it all helps you skin. I'm not sure it will all go back, I'm in my 40s and this is about the time my skin would be 'relaxing' anyway even if I had always been thin.

thanks! I'm pretty good about general skin care and taking omegas, etc. i don't mind looking older (I definitely do - I'm 35, and I now look about 29 instead of a fat 17. Seriously. It's good to look a little older!) but I don't want to always look sad!

I have the "frown" thikg going on, too, BIG TIME! I went to the Dermatologist and got BOTOX in just under my chin muscles as the doctor said it is actually those muscles that are pulling down the looser skin. The botox will not take the frown lines away but will stop any further pulling. To get rid of the actual frown lines, she said I would need a filler, like Juvederm. The botox was cheap but the fillers are like $600. She said that would take care of the lines going down from my nose, the frown lines at the corners of my lips and downward and even the lines above my lips (the ones that look like I smoke but I dont). I'm considering it....because I think I look awful!

How much was the Botox?

[Msvetrn]

I only needed 6 units @ $10/unit. That was a special promotion but its usually around $15

I found peter Thomas Ross wrinkle set. It is high but it is firming my face and neck. U can get a starter kit on qvc for 60 bucks. If you have a ulta store they sell it there. How long does botox last?

[Msvetrn]

The Dr said Botox will last about 4 months.

[Kylady1975]

Thats not bad. Also its actual peter Thomas Roth. dunno why I put Ross.lol. My neck is really what worries me. Any suggestions?

Do you watch Shark Tank in tv? Someone in there had stick-on facelift things.
