Does weight gain affect results of a Neck lift?

A neck lift will last longer if you take good care of it.  If you take good care of your skin, stay out of the sun, and keep a stable weight, the neck lift will last longer.  If you gain weight, it may blunt your neckline.  Depending on your anatomy, even if you gain weight, you will likely still look considerably better than not doing the surgery at all.  I hope this helps.  

Thank you for your question. I disagree. You should get the neck lift once your weight has stabilized. We do not work on patients who are coming off a period of extreme weight loss. It is best that you are open and honest with your surgeon about your current body type and look so that your surgeon can provide you a tailor-made solution that works in conjunction with your current (and average) appearance. Best wishes,

It really depends what is a major cause of your neck deformity. If it is predominantly fat deposits (deep and superficial),  fat removal by means of liposuction or better, direct excision will help regardless of weight fluctuation.  However, if neck deformity is a combination of fat deposits and significant muscle laxity, weight control after neck lift is mandatory. Deep fat, underneath the platisma muscle is not available for surgical manipulation except in anterior portion of neck.Clinical evaluation by an experienced board certified plastic surgeon with good reputation in facial rejuvenation would help. Good luck.
