"These are all natural parts of the aging process. What we can do is try preventative treatments or get a neck lift / face lift earlier in the aging process. There are numerous non-surgical options available, and some can be used in combination to get best outcomes, but you would need a consultation with an expert.Some options for skin tightening include:- Thermage radiofrequency to heat the skin, tighten it over time, and prevent the aging process- Ultherapy high-intensity ultrasound to contract the muscle, tighten the face and neck, and prevent the aging process- PDO NovaThreads or InstaLift threads for immediate lifting without surgery and long-term collagen production- Sculptra injections for collagen production to areas of the face and neck with crepey skin or early sagging- BTL Exilis Ultra, Venus Legacy, and Thermi250 for monthly collagen stimulation with facials- ThermiRF, Renuvion (J Plasma), or Inmode BodyTite for internal heating and tightening with or without surgery- Fillers (or facial implants) to contour the jawline and chin to improve the appearance of the neck- Face lift / neck lift with fat grafting and fillers if you need a significant improvementI would suggest getting a formal evaluation with a cosmetic dermatologist.

Hello! Thank you for your question! Age alone is not a contraindication to a surgical procedure. There are a few medical comorbidities that contribute to a higher risk during any surgical procedure including infections, wound complications, delayed wound healing, bleeding, anesthetic risks, etc. Factors such as diabetes, hypertension, coronary artery disease, heart problems, lung problems, etc are more common in the elderly. However, if you are healthy, or these conditions are well-controlled, you would certainly still be a candidate for a surgical procedure. If your complaints or desires are great enough to consider the surgical option, I would seek a consultation with a plastic surgeon to discuss your complaints and go over the options as well as risks and benefits of the procedure.You should obtain medical clearance from your primary care physician that you are at an acceptable risk for undergoing a surgical procedure. For elective or aesthetic procedures, your surgeon may want to get you to a reasonable health status prior to consideration for a procedure. Discuss all of your medical comorbidities and medication with your surgeon prior and discuss these risks. Also, discuss this with your anesthesiologist as proper monitoring and medications will be watched closely. This procedure should still be very safe for you and hope for an uncomplicated course with an excellent result! Hope that this helps! Best wishes!
75 is not too old for a neck lift as long as the general health is good. In the past month I have performed 3 neck lifts on patients over the age of 70 with excellent outcome.
Thank you for your question. 75 is not too old for a neck lift. Age itself is not a contraindication to this type of surgery. Your general health status is much more relevant to your surgical candidacy. A recent study published in Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery found that the risks of complications from facelift people over age 65 are no greater than in the younger population. The study found no significant difference in the instances of minor or major complications among patients whose average age was 70 from those whose average age was 57. Good Luck.
You are definitely not too old for a necklift, I have actually treated many men in your age group who are extremely satisfied with their results. It is never too late to improve your appearance and self-esteem.
