Am I a good candidate for a neck/facelift @ almost 36?

Very likely, based onthese photos and short of in person evaluation, that anterior neck lift may be good option for you. Howerver. only on the basis of in person evaluation one could decide whether neck lift of lower fce/neck lift would be better solution for you. Good luck.

Congratulations on your weight loss. I would not do a MACS lift on you. It will not address your biggest issue, the excess skin and muscle laxity in your neck. You need a formal platysmaplasty and neck lift. If your jowls are also bothering you then you also need a lower facelift. I know that providers are doing these under local anesthesia in the office but I think that it is not a positive experience, no matter how much valium they give you without some sort of IV sedation.

Hello! Great question and thanks for the photos. 36 years old is a bit young to consider a face and necklift given that even the best techniques don't last forever. There is upkeep associated with any procedure of the face and neck long-term. This doesn't mean that the laxity would come back to the same degree. In your case, you may very well benefit from the procedure and may have great results. It's just important to remember your age and future maintenance to keep your results looking optimal. Hope this helps!
