After 100 pound weight loss I have developed turkey neck and have been considering a neck lift. I shave my head due to my receding hairline. What are good options for me? I cannot grow a beard for coverage so I am concerned about a scar from Z-plasty. I am also curious about what a facelift could do for me. I am 52 years old and my weight has been stable since the weight loss a year and a half ago.
Answer: Is a neck and facelift right for you? Thank you for your question. Based on your photos, it appears you would be a good candidate for a neck lift and lower facelift. When I perform this procedure, I take care to place incisions where scarring will be minimal. Typically, incisions are placed under the chin and around the ears, in the natural creases of the skin whenever possible. I encourage you to schedule a consultation with an experienced, board-certified facial plastic surgeon who can assess you in person and determine the best treatment plan for you. Discuss your concerns about scarring with your doctor. There are steps you can take before and after your surgery to also help minimize scarring. With proper preparation and an experienced facial plastic surgeon, you should see a very good result.

Answer: Facelift This is a difficult scenario. The incisions from a facelift will certainly be somewhat visible in a person that is bald. If a direct neck lift is meticulously closed, the incisions can be somewhat difficult to see.

Answer: Neck lift with a mini facelift is a great way to go for you This is really a wonderful question and one that I get asked all the time. For most patients, a Z-neck lift is quick and can typically be done in the office under local anesthesia. There is nothing better than taking out the skin exactly where it bothers you and this is a great option. A mini facelift can be done at the same time and will help tighten that lower face region.
