SMAS facelift.

George J. Beraka, MD answers: Should I lose weight before SMAS Facelift and Neck Lift?

Should I lose weight before SMAS Facelift and Submentoplasty Neck lift?  I am having a Face lift & Neck lift & Brow Lift is being covered buy Insurance. Should I loose weight before having anything done?

If I don't loose weight now and loose weight later will my new face be all saggy?

Thanks

Hi!

Few people put on a lot of weight in their face.  So, unless you are talking about 20 pounds or more, I think it is fine to do your SMAS facelift now.

Helpful?

Dear ICIrisheyes

For most surgeries it is best to be at your 'ideal' weight. This may have an effect on your facelift result over the long term. 

With Warm Regards,
