Is it possible to get facial liposuction and facelift together?

Question

I am a 21 year old male. I had a jaw surgery procedure which resulted in excess fat in my face and a lot of loose skin. I am very fit and I always workout. I've never had this kind of fat and swelling on my face before. I really want it to go back to before when I had tight skin and very little fat.

Dear Neat594389,I understand your concern. It is best however that you consult with a board certified plastic surgeon to determine whether you can have several aesthetic surgeries in one session, as this would depend on various factors including but not limited to your general health condition, the type of anesthesia that will be used, and the type of surgeries that will be performed among others.

You are not a candidate for a facelift, but could have skin tightening with micro-needling and radiofrequency (perhaps) depending upon what specifically was done to your jaw.

In order to make an assessment, we need to know exactly what procedure you had done previously, and you should include before and after pictures. If you don’t have before and after pictures and ask your provider to forward. Personally, I see no indication for surgical intervention.

Both procedures can be performed personally, I have done it in older people or people who lose a lot of weight through diet and exercise or bariatric surgery, both procedures are for different purposes, liposuction is to reduce fat accumulation and facelift is to remove excess skin on the face.
