If I lose 30 - 40 pounds after I get a facelift will my face be saggy again?

Hi MotherHubbardThanks for posting. It is difficult when you set yourself a goal and it takes longer than you think it's going to. Be encourage to keep trying to loose weight, it will make a very big difference to your life.With regards to the facelift, it would be best to loose the weight first, as you may find that the skin after the loss, will be looser. However, having a FL may give you the incentive to keep on with the weight as you feel better already. It would something you need to think about carefully, and decide what is the best option.Our procedure is less invasive than a traditional facelift and there is less scarring, bruising and swelling for a significantly quicker recovery period. This innovative procedure combines the latest surgical techniques with the use of local anaesthetic to dramatically reduce the risks associated with traditional facelifts, while significantly reducing the bruising and downtime of your recovery, from months to a matter of days.This is a combination of a SMAS lift and skin tightening that allows the procedure to have it's longevity without the trauma and invasiveness of a traditional facelift. It is understandable that people are skeptical about the outcomes and that's because it is unique to us, so no one will know how it is performed. I have done over 800 of these, with clients from as far away as the states, that are extremely happy with the outcomes.All the best with your endeavours!

I usually recommend that patients that are “realistically”
planning on losing more than 15lbs of weight loss, undergo the weight loss,
prior to a facelift or necklift. This is because when you lose weight, you will
inevitably lose volume in your face, and it will lead to excess sagging of the
skin of the face and neck. You might as well wait until all the weight is lost,
in order to make the most of your surgery. However, I did say “realistically,”
because I do have patients who wish to lose 25-50 lbs, but have been
unsuccessful at doing so despite trying for several years. So, if it is not a
realistic goal, it may be a better option to undergo the facelift. But if you
go on to lose the weight after the surgery, you do need to be aware that the
subsequent weight loss will affect the long-term results of the surgery. I hope
this helps.
