32 y/o, lost 120 lbs, about 60 to go, but have the family neck. What is my best option?

Options for your neck
Jan 7, 2016

Hi RachelFirst off, congratulations on your weight loss. Your situation is quite common following significant weight loss with excess skin in you lower face and neck region. Although you are not the typical age of patients seeking treatment for the is area, you are good candidate for it. I would advise seeking out a consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon who has an expertise in facial and neck surgery. This would allow you to be evaluated and all options...

Facelift revsion?
Jan 7, 2016

Hi SissyThanks for posting your concerns and pictures. Three years form you original procedure is more than enough to consider enough time to consider a revision and I think that your tissues and scars would be amenable to that. From your photos you appear to have residual skin laxity in you neck and lower face, prominent platysmal (neck muscles) separation and banding. A complete history and physical exam would need to be done to confirm that. From my experience, I...

General vs. local anesthesia?

General vs Local Anesthesia
Sep 21, 2015

Hi LindafitzVery good question. Surgeons are creatures of habit and a byproduct of their training and practice. So there is not one right answer for every patient. I have done numerous facelifts utilizing both anesthetic techniques and prefer to do the procedure utilizing light oral sedation with local anesthesia. I find that most patients have a very good experience with that technique and like not having to undergo general anesthesia. I have included some...

What are my best options for my lower face dropping?

What are my options...
Sep 18, 2015

Hi LolThanks for your question and the accompanying photos. It appears that you have skin laxity with excess fat in the neck region. It is possible that you have some separation of your neck muscles as well. Though non surgical treatments such as radiofrequency treaments, ultrasound energy or injections (for lipolysis) are options, they may not address all the components of your concerns. You appear to be a good candidate for lower facelift or neck lift surgery. ...

58 old woman with deep facial lines. PS suggested facelift with blue chemical peel.

Facelift with Chemical Peel
Sep 8, 2015

Hi LindafitzA good question and one that is often asked by a lot of my patients. To paraphrase, can a facelift be done with a chemical peel? Skin resurfacing with chemical peels or lasers can be done with a facelift. Because you note of a history of adverse scarring, I would recommend being evaluated by a board certified plastic surgeon to see if you are a good candidate. Your photos suggest that you would likely benefit from a facelift and a resurfacing procedure...

Non-surgical treatment for jowls?

Non-surgical treatment for jowls
Aug 31, 2015

Hi magnesiumThanks for the question which ask non-surgical option for the treatment of jowls. Fillers have been used for patients with minimal to mildly prominent jowls. However, they will not treat more prominent jowls as demonstrated by your photo. In addition, they will not address your jawline or the loose skin in your neck. Although you are seeking non-surgical options, they are not best answer for your concerns. You would benefit the most from a facelift...

Facelift, necklift, both, chin implant, or fillers?
Aug 27, 2015

Hi PrincesscatalinaThanks for your question and including photos. The concerns your expressing, especially the "turkey neck", typically do not respond to fillers. A chin implant may be beneficial, however I think that could be determined at a meeting with your potential surgeon. I have included some photos demonstrating the benefits of a face/neck lift for you look at. I would suggest meeting with a board certified plastic surgeon to have a consultation. During that...

Aug 24, 2015

Hi fabatThanks for your question. I understand you have concerns, enough so that you have had injection therapy. I really don't think you will get specific answers here without including some photos of yourself and the nature of your concerns. I will include some before and after photos to demonstrate the benefits of a facelift in the lower face and neck region. I would advise you to seek a consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon to be evaluated and figure...

Affordable ways to tighten neck, lower face?
Aug 18, 2015

HiThanks for providing photos and asking your questions. Though options including non surgical treatments are available, I think you would be best served by a lower facelift/necklift. I have included some examples of patients who have had a face/neck lift. I would recommend meeting with a board certified plastic surgeon to be evaluated and to discuss your treatment options. Thanks and best of luck to you.

Facelift or fillers?

Facelift or Fillers
Aug 18, 2015

Hi MlunkwitzIf you are referring to the lines around your eyes (crows feet), they would be best treated with Botox. Fillers would not be very helpful there. Facelift surgery typically addresses the lower face, jowls and neck. I have included some before and after photos to demonstrate the benefits of facelift surgery. I hope this answers your question and if it does not then I would recommend a consult with a experienced board certified plastic surgeon.

Can I get away with half a facelift?
Aug 12, 2015

Hi KarysThanks for the question and including photos. Ideally, it would be nice to see the side or profile views to really get a better idea of what your concerns are. Your neck, jowls and chin seem to be the areas that you are bothered by. Meeting with a board certified plastic surgeon, who is experienced in facial rejuvenation, would be a good starting point. You should be evaluated and have your questions answered which in turn may alleviate some of your concerns...

What can I do about my neck....
Jul 29, 2015

Hi Deeva36Ideally a picture showing all of your neck would be most helpful. It does appear that you have some excess skin and fat in your neck. Although non-surgical treatments can be helpful, I would advise seeking a consultation for a neck lift. I would recommend having a consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon to be evaluated and find out if you are a good candidate. I have included some photos of patients that have had a lower face/neck lift. ...

When having a neck lift....
Jul 29, 2015

Hi CumpyThe platysma muscle becomes more noticeable as we age and can often look like cords or bands. When they are that prominent, it is reasonable to consider treatment. I would advise seeking a consultation with an experienced board certified plastic surgeon who regularly performs of lower face/neck lift surgery. This will allow your surgeon to understand your goals for neck rejuvenation, examine you,and devise a treatment plan. I have included some photos of...

I am 71 years old and I need a facelift and necklift. Any suggestions on general anesthesia?

Any suggestions on general anesthesia
Jul 28, 2015

Hi JeanYou ask a very good question about anesthesia. Most surgeons have a preference regarding their choice of anesthesia for performing facelift surgery. My technique involves using local anesthesia with oral sedation thus avoiding general anesthesia or IV sedation (MAC). I have included some before and after photos of patients who have had this surgery with this anesthesia technique. My patient and I both prefer this method and this maybe an option for you. I...

What is the difference between a Facelift combined with a neck lift doing the SMAS technique vs a platysma?

What is the difference between and facelift combined.......
Jul 28, 2015

Hi NinakbResults from the techniques you mentioned are just as dependent on the skill of the surgeon as they are on the specific technique. Since you have consulted with the surgeons, you should have been able to see before and after photos of patients who had that surgeons procedure (i have attached my photo's as an example). In addition, both surgeons should have been able to relate their experience in terms of the number of procedure performed. Surgeon experience with...
