Great question! Scheduling around major social events is half the battle with facial plastic surgery. The short answer is yes. That is a big surgery and there will certainly be a lot of swelling and bruising. I tell my patients who are undergoing these procedures to not expect a full result...
The answer will depend on a consultation and an exam, but your solution is going to be surgical. Whether a deep neck lift or a deep plane facelift is most appropriate depends on the degree of skin laxity present/
The simple answer is "Yes". A deep plane facelift is the best form of necklift available, addressing the neck anteriorly (under the chin), and laterally (via the facelift incisions). Whether or not this is the best procedure for you would require a consultation and examination.
