Will I Need a Facelift to Fix my Neck? Will I need a face lift to fix my neck, I am only 42 and have extra skin on neck when I look down. Is it possible to do just a neck lift?

A: facelift vs necklift

Based on your photos it appears you would benefit from both a necklift and facelift. The necklift will tighten your platysma muscles (front of the neck) and the facelift will elevate the soft tissues of your midface and cheek area which will give a more youthful appearance. It's difficult to determine from these photos if you need a chin implant or not. Occasionally a fat transfer is done at the same time as a facelift which can restore more volume to the midface area that is lost due to aging.

A board certified plastic surgeon can evaluate your face and outline a surgical plan tailored to your needs and desires.

Best wishes,

Local Anesthetic w/Oral Sedation - Safe for Upper Eyelid and Lower Facelift Surgery? Am 55 with skin in very good condition. But have drooping upper lids and banding in neck. To have a lower face lift/platysmaplasty and upper eyelid surgery, doctor has offered me either the option of IV sedation with board certified anes. or was also told I was a candidate for just local with oral sedation, which will save me a substantial amount of money. Is there any reason not to do it this way? Is one form of anesthesia riskier than the other?

A: Facelift under Local Anesthesia

There are many centers that advertise Facelift under local anesthesia with different catchy names such as "weekend Facelift", "quick lift", etc. They all try to entice people with cheaper prices by not using an anesthesiologist, proper monitoring, and supervision. To me this sounds like having an airline advertising cheaper flight fairs by not having a pilot present, and telling the travelers that the plane is going to be controlled by auto-pilot with some supervision from the flight attendant! Is this what you really want!!

When is a Face Lift the Best Choice? At what age is a face lift appropriate?

A: when to have a facelift

As patients age, the facial skin and soft tissue begins to sag and atrophy (shrink). Some people may have loose skin of their neck and lower face with jowls and also a sunken appearance in the cheek/lower eyelid area. Most patients only need a small amount of skin removal- what they really need is for the soft tissue under their skin to be elevated and repositioned. At the same time, many patients also need a fat transfer to this area to restore some of the lost volume. Usually the best time to have a facelift is before you really need a facelift. This could be in their early 40's or sometime in their 50's. The age is not as important as the quality of their skin and soft tissue position.

Please consult with a board certified plastic surgeon prior to scheduling this procedure.

Best wishes,

Dr. Bruno

	“My Facelift is the Best - Beverly Hills” I'm 53 years old and was starting to look a little tired and because my mouth was starting to turn down at the corners, I looked a bit angry.

It did hurt, not during the facelift but later, when i came home... more
