When I lost a ton of weight and dropped down to about 165 pounds I was horrified about my face at the age of 37 years old. I went from looking like I was 28 to 45 really quick, maybe older. After gaining about 20 pounds it gave me back years and I feel better. Having some healing issues after radiation I am not sure if I would take the risk of PS. We're all different but it has to be risky even being performed by the best hands in the business.
