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?
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.

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?
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 the pre operative surgical markings done for a face lift and blepharoplasty. It is before the surgery while you are awake and sitting up or after you are sedated and lying down?
Hi,
When to mark the patient is generally based on personal preference and training. There really isn’t a right or wrong way to do it. I personally like marking my blepharoplasty and facelift patients while they are awake and sitting up.
Once they are sedated and lying down, I verify my measurements and adjust or make additional markings as needed. I prefer to do the markings with the patients sitting up because that is how the patient is going to see herself/himself most of the time, with the effects of gravity in full force! I also like marking my patients awake so that I can review my plan with them one last time, so that there are no “surprises.” I know of other surgeons who do not perform any markings until the patients are sedated because they have had experiences with patients becoming anxious with the process. Again, surgeons have been doing it both ways for ages and have had great results with both. Hope this helps!
