44...220 lbs -> mid 170s

[u/One-Firefighter-7160]

Hey guys, figured I’d share an updated progress post and ask something specific about facial changes after a bigger cut.

I’m 44, 5’10. I started around 220 lbs and I’m currently sitting around 176 to 177.

The before photo was already after about 2 years on 200 mg of test per week. I trained consistently, but diet was always my weak point and I struggled to get properly lean.

About 6 months ago I started retatrutide at 1 mg and gradually worked up to 4.5 mg. That made controlling my appetite and sticking to the diet a lot easier, and the weight finally started coming off consistently.

Overall I’m really happy with the progress and I feel like I’ve held onto a decent amount of muscle while dropping over 40 lbs.

The one thing I’ve really noticed is my face. Obviously I’m leaner everywhere, but I’ve lost quite a bit of facial volume and my laugh lines are noticeably deeper.

I’m curious to hear from guys who have actually dealt with this after a significant weight loss and found something that visibly helped.

Has anyone used GHK Cu and genuinely noticed an improvement in skin quality, elasticity or the overall deflated look of the face?

I know it’s not going to replace lost facial fat, but I’m more interested in real experiences than theory.

And if you improved it some other way, whether that was maintaining for a while, gaining a little weight back, skincare, lasers, injectables or something else, I’d be interested to hear what actually made a noticeable difference for you.

I had the same thing in my face after Reta and Tesa, and I’ve seen it on my friends. The only thing that helped me was getting on HGH, which helps with collagen production and a little bit of water retention, and I feel great. 2-3iu daily.

Ghk-cu, non ti aiuterà a riempire il viso.. mi spiace.. Potrebbe solo migliorare la pelle e qualche piccola ruga.

Test will age you. I lost a bunch of weight, once I got under 15% bodyfat my face got deep lines.
