If You Get a Necklift Will It Affect a Future Facelift? I am able to hold off on a facelift until next year. I am keeping things at bay with Dysport and Restylane I do though have a neck problem with soft beginning of a sagging there. Uneveness from lipo 10 years ago. Which comes first for best results? The face and than the neck? I feel like the horse or the cart asking this, but I think maybe a future facelift will affect the lay of the face. Thanks

A: Focus on what bothers you most

Commonly, the face and neck are addressed together with a full facelift procedure. However, it does not have to be done this way. Some patients are doing well in the face but find the lax skin in the neck to be bothersome, in which case a necklift can be very effective. Conversely, some people's necks are doing well but have issues in the jowl, in which case a midfacelift or minilift is the way to go. I would suggest talking with your plastic surgeon about your concerns and come up with a plan that makes sense for you.

Should I Be Concerned about the Risk of Necrosis After Revision Neck Surgery? I am having a revision neck lift (had platysmal tightening) It has been 9 months since my surgery and the revision will be in two months. The ps said I had about a 5% chance of getting skin necrosis because of prior surgeries (I had lipo 3 years ago). He did not seem concerned but wanted to provide that warning. Is skin nicrosis a common occurrence or just a precaution? I do not smoke and I am in good health.

A: Risk of Necrosis in Revsiion Neck Lift

Although revision surgery is, by nature, more complicated than primary surgery, skin necrosis should be a rare event in a non-smoker having a revision necklift. Probably 50% of my Facelifts and necklifts are revision procedures and I have never seen this complication in a a revision necklift.

Turkey Neck Plastic Surgery if Prone to Keloids I am a 54 year old female and also am concerned because I develop keloids. Can you help? Thanks in advance.

A: Turkey Neck Options

The good news is that keloids rarely occur in facial surgery, and rarer still with a Facelift procedure. I would recommend a composite Facelift with an aggressive approach toward the neck. The neck portion of the procedure is likely to require removal of fat from above and below the platysmal muscle, partial or complete division of the platysma muscle and surgical tightening of the muscle (platysmaplasty). Poor scarring in a Facelift is generally associated with inappropriate tension of the skin coupled with underdone soft tissue work.
