Wait for weight loss to have cosmetic procedures?

Should I wait for my face to adjust after weight loss before I go through Acclaim Laser Skin Rejuvenation and Sculptra?

I just lost 30 lbs, and I'd like to know, are there any advantages to waiting for the face to adjust before going through Laser and Sculptra procedures?

In response, I congratulate you on your weight loss.  This is hard work but a worthwhile endeavor.  Unfortunately we cannot always choose where the weight loss will come from.  Many of us end up looking older when we lose weight in our face.  We need to replace this volume (fat, muscle, bone) in our faces to look young.

Think about what a balloon looks like as it deflates and the latex gets all shriveled; this happens to our skin as well.  If you are finished in your quest to lose weight this may be an ideal time to have a filler and resurfacing. 

Sculptra and Acclaim are certainly option thought they may not necessarily be the ones that are best for you.  It is important that you have a consultation with a cosmetic surgeon who can guide you.  Good Luck.
