I have been turned away by a couple doctors who say I'm too young but every day I look in the mirror this is all I see. I lost 110lbs and my genetics are against me. I am thinking about a lower facelift/neck lift to get rid of the skin. Is that what is needed here? My jowls and neck make me so self conscious and fillers are not helping. Am I too young? Would a facelift help fix my concerns?
Answer: A facelift/neck lift would help to rejuvenate your facial and neck appearance. The deflation that you experienced after your 110 pound weight loss would be improved with a facelift and neck lift. This is very much like the excess skin that people have on their abdomen after weight loss. The skin will not snap back as it has lost some of its elasticity, but a tummy tuck will flatten and improve the contour of the abdomen. Your skin needs to be elevated and re-draped over a lifted and repositioned SMAS. This will allow your facial shape to improve, with a wider upper mid face and a sharper, straight jawline and also remove the redundancy of the skin in your neck. I have had the opportunity to operate on people who have had large weight losses and their facial shape, contour and appearance is much improved after a facelift and neck lift. I recommend that you consult with other board certified plastic surgeons. Best wishes.

Answer: Facelift Necklift The weight loss that you had left some excess skin. This is a normal thing that occurs in patients that have lost a significant amount of weight. You are not too young for a facelift necklift discussion after a physical exam with a plastic surgeon. I would recommend seeing a board certified or board eligible plastic surgeon with aesthetic surgery training/experience who can perform a full exam and provide safe recommendations.

Answer: Is 35 too young? hi, although you are only 35, after the weight loss, you have a lot of hanging skin on your neck. So I think you are a good candidate for a facelift, because a facelift can help that skin.

Answer: Face/Necklift in 35 Year Old after Massive Weight Loss Your massive weight loss of 110 lbs resulting in very visible loose skin in your neck and lower jowl regions trumps your young age of 35, and I do think that at least a lower face/necklift would be very helpful to get rid of the sagging wrinkled skin under your chin. This would create a smoother, sharper neck angle and a smoother lower cheek region. Lifting and firming the skin and fat in these two areas would create a much more youthful refrershed appearance. Although generally speaking 35 is young for a facelift, your excess loose skin presents a special circumstance where such a lift is appropriate.
