Would a neck and facelift be a good option for a bald guy? (Photos)

S
SouthernguyDec 31, 2020

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.

Thank you for your answer. A (partial) submandibular gland resection is sometimes performed to support a saggy submandibular gland during a face and necklift operation. It is rarely done on its own. During a necklift, the exposure to the submandibular gland is extremely limited, and few surgeons...

It’s easy enough to figure out if stem cell facelift is a legit thing. I already know it’s an absolutely worthless procedure. You can find out yourself by googling “stem cell facelift scam”. It will have ads from those who do it alongside entries that show it’s nothing but a scam. The medical b...

Dear sincity14, the cost of surgery depends on a lot of factors (type of surgery, number of treated areas, anesthesia fee, surgeon, facility fee, city, etc.). If you are considering a surgery, I would suggest you to consult a board-certified plastic surgeon. Only after a thorough examination you...

I would recommend a full standard facelift, upper and lower eyelid lift. You’ll look great. Just beware that many surgeons will try to talk you into other things such as fat grafting, brow lift, laser etc. I call that a la carte facelift because the surgeon wants to up the price with other t...
