I've been researching options for improving my appearance. Is an SMAS facelift the best approach? I have a few brown spots on my face I would like to get rid of too. I want guidance on the best direction to give me lasting results for a natural, younger look. Also, is it feasible to have a facelift + breast implant removal at the same time? I have 20+ yr old silicon breast implants. My plan is remove implants, wait ~6 months, then get a breast lift. I am 59 yrs old, 5'9" tall and 165 lbs.
Answer: What Surgical procedures do you suggest for a refreshed look to my eyes/face/neck? In our practice, we perform a high-SMAS lower face and neck left. The goal of a lower face and neck lift is to tighten loose facial and neck skin, tighten loose facial and neck muscles, lift the jowls, and remove any fatty deposits in the neck which also includes a platysma-plasty. The hooded and extra skin on the upper lids can be addressed with an upper blepharoplasty, while the puffiness can be removed from the lower lids with lower lid blepharoplasty procedure. Eyelid surgery and a facelift can be performed together under one anesthetic which allows one recovery period.

Answer: Natural Refreshed Look by Well Done SMAS Facelift/Neck, Upper/Lower Bleph Which ever plastic surgeon you select should be able to work subtly with your natural features to enhance your appearance without an operated look. Your features seem very favorable in the photos you provided. SMAS facelift provides support for the sagging deeper tissues in the cheek area, and indirectly to the neck as well. Anterior platysmaplasty suspends the lax muscle and fibrous tissues under the chin. Placing a small amount of fat graft in the anterior cheek may be helpful. Loose cheek and neck skin should be gently removed. Lower blepharoplasty should remove the bags. Upper blephroplasty should remove redundant skin. Brow lift may be considered, but is not likely needed. I would guess that these procedures would be too involved to also do breast surgery at the same time. These may sound like a number of procedures, but done well, should give a beautiful refreshed look. The breast photos certainly show large and sagging breasts, which would often be quite uncomfortable. Moderate sized, lifted breasts should benefit you greatly. Staging the removal of the implants and the lift is a reasonable plan. Your general health should be carefully evaluated by your surgeon, along with these and other questions in order to help you decide on the best plan of action. Best Wishes.
