Will pregnancy ruin my facelift results?

Weight stability is the most important to preserve results in any surgery.
It is a myth that you must gain weight and eat for two during pregnancy.
The correct thing to do all pregnancy is to eat healthy and continue doing exercise during all pregnancy until you can not. The baby is fed from you and through your blood, the baby doesn’t eat what you eat. So if you put on 10-12 lbs will be easily lost.
Be encouraged.

Thank you for your question. Pregnancy is associated with both weight fluctuations and redistribution of volume around the face and body in general.

The interval between surgery and pregnancy is probably irrelevant in terms of these changes occurring. Overall, there is benefit to a limited amount of weight gain during pregnancy, but ultimately, the most important thing is your health and the baby’s health.

In terms of other factors that influence the result of surgery, sun protection is important to maintain skin elasticity. During pregnancy, it is also important to reduce the tendency to melasma, which can significantly influence the facial appearance.

During pregnancy, gaining and losing weight can affect the skin's elasticity and thus may lead to changes in the face. However, it's difficult to say precisely how weight fluctuations during pregnancy might specifically impact the results of a surgical facelift. Post-pregnancy weight fluctuations can potentially affect the skin's tightness and elasticity in the face, which could alter facelift outcomes. However, to provide a definitive answer on this matter, I would need to directly assess the person during a preoperative consultation to evaluate the likelihood of skin sagging.
