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: Face and neck lift after massive weight loss Thank-you for your question. You appear to be a good candidate for a face and necklift procedure. The scars can be placed in a way that the visibility is minimal. Please find an experienced Board certified Plastic surgeon who can examine you and go over all your options. All the best!

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. If you are concerned about scarring it is important to make sure that you have a good balanced diet. There are supplements that can help the healing process as well as scar reduction products and massaging the incisions once they have healed and your doctor gives you the ok to do so. I would recommend that you see a board-certified plastic surgeon in your area that is a member of both ASPS & ASAPS and performs a lot of facelifts but also offers all the nonsurgical options such as injectables and laser treatments. Go over your concerns with them and make sure above all, you walk out of there with several options and never be pushed out with just one suggestion. Ultimately there are pros and cons to every procedure whether it's surgery or not surgery. It should always be your choice. I hope this helps and wish you all the best in your surgery and event.
