I’m 37 with fairly firm skin. Noticed sagging in my jowls that filler wasn’t fixing, so I had mid-facelift surgery right after my 37th birthday. Surgeons nurse warned the results could be negatively affected, if I gain or lose weight significantly, after surgery. My 1st pregnancy I gained 25 lbs and, lost 15 lbs, 2 months after delivery. Will a new pregnancy ruin my results? Is there an ideal length of time to wait before conceiving to preserve the results?

Answer: Will pregnancy ruin face lift results Thank you for your query. Pregnancy, if not accompanied by excessive weight gain, does not negatively impact on face lift results. Too much weight gain and loss, whether you are pregnant or not is to be avoided to manintain your results. Please discuss all your concerns with your plastic surgeon. All the best!

Answer: Facelift Results and Pregnancy Hello, hope you are well. This is a great question! Generally speaking, it's true that large fluctuations in weight can have an adverse impact on the results of facial plastic surgery. However, there is a big asterisk next to this statement in the context of pregnancy. With a healthy pregnancy, much of the weight gain is attributed to the developing fetus and placenta, the amniotic fluid, uterus, and increased blood volume circulating in your body. There is not necessarily a significant change in volume of your body's subcutaneous fat layer, or the volume of fat in your face--those are the things that effect surgical results. Having said that, I don't believe a pregnancy will necessarily 'ruin' your results or that there is an ideal amount of time to wait before conceiving.
