I've heard it's about plastic surgery too- the pressure for older stars to get it or their careers will go down the tubes. The video seems to have plastic surgery tools in it, too- the silver things that float around. I feel like it's also about broader themes of going one's own way and feeling burnt out and empty.
Dude, in the music video those aren't plastic surgery tools, those are totally pieces of her guitar. in the end they all fit together and so she plays it for the last chorus instead of just walking around singing.

the term "saving my face" in this song i think has two different meanings. the first meaning would be obviously the one she stated in an interview about how all these older woman are freaking out because they're aging and they're also losing their memory, but they're more concerned with "saving their face" but i think the other more deep meaning...

everything's screwed up so it seems like there's no hope, but she would give anything just to taste that hope
"but everything's here, all out of place"
everything's messed up and not at all how she wants it
"losing my memory, but saving my face"
possibly that she's letting go of something in the past and saving her reputation or herself even...maybe by letting go, she's saving herself...i don't know that's just my interpretation of it.
