Weight loss and face and neck lift?

Thank you for your inquiry! I always suggest having elective plastic surgery when you're at a stable weight. If you're currently losing/gaining weight or wanting to lose/gain weight then I would suggest waiting until weight is stable to get a facelift or necklift procedure as that will affect the results. I would love to see you in person and verify that you're a good candidate for this procedure. Schedule a consult with a board certified plastic surgeon like myself so we can make a surgical plan for you and help you reach your goals!

Weight loss can impact the results of a face and neck lift. If you lose weight after the procedure, it may lead to changes in the skin's elasticity and overall facial volume, which could alter the final appearance and potentially diminish the lift's effects.

I recommend reaching your goal weight before undergoing cosmetic procedures, as it can help ensure more predictable results. If you plan to lose 20-30 pounds, it might be beneficial to do so first, allowing your surgeon to assess your skin's condition and contours based on your new weight.

It's always best to discuss your specific situation with your surgeon, as they can provide personalized advice based on your health, skin type, and desired outcomes.

Great question! While it's always ideal for patients to be at their goal weight prior to undergoing surgery, weight changes of less than 10-15 pounds shouldn't alter your surgery results. That being said, I recommend getting a bit closer to your goal weight before proceeding.
