Weight loss is always useful before surgery

Hisham Seify, MD, PhD 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

It is always useful to loose weight before surgery for different health and anaesthesia related reasons. In my experience the face is not affected that much with weight loss except in some massive weight loss cases.

Helpful?
