I am 60years old : (I don't want to look unnatural and pulled ) I want to fix the loose skin around my eyes and the hollowing underneath (especially under one eye) I want to eradicate my marionette lines (puppet lines) I also want a tummy tuck but a consultant told me that I would be numb from the tummy down to the pubic bone and the feeling would not come back ... that frightened me , is that true? Thank you
Answer: Facelift All these are treatment options, but you need understand the advantages & disadvantages of each of them. You can mix and use them. You don’t have to go for surgery for each and every problem. Your lose skin around the eyes & hollowing underneath would require a filler to correct the hollowing and with that a mid face lift to correct the lose skin around the eyes. Marionette lines can be tackled by both, a facelift surgery or fillers, so choose keeping in mind the pros & cons of each treatment, the downtime of each procedure and the treatment providing the most long lasting results.

Answer: Facelift/Y Lift/Thread Lift Fillers: It's All So Confusing! Find an Expert You Trust We are lucky to live in a time when there are so many effective options for combatting the signs of aging. However, it can be quite confusing to decide which will be best for you over the long term. At 60 years old, you would probably benefit most from a full rhytidectomy (facelift) with fat grafting and a neck lift. You may need fillers to even out your eye troughs. It's important to find a facial plastic surgeon for your facelift to get the best results and to not look “done.” Take the time to interview surgeons who understand facial anatomy and aesthetics and are committed to enhancing your own natural beauty. A good facelift should last at least 10 years. As for a tummy tuck, whatever numbness that may follow should resolve over time. I hope this helps.

Answer: Consultation needed Hello and thank you for your question. At age 60, there may be many different options for you to achieve your goals. The best advice you can receive is from an in-person consultation. If good technique is used, a facelift can be done with minimal scarring and can result in a natural look, not over-done look, with rejuvenation of your face. Make sure you specifically look at before and after pictures of real patients who have had this surgery performed by your surgeon and evaluate their results. The most important aspect is to find a surgeon you are comfortable with. I recommend that you seek consultation with a qualified board-certified plastic surgeon who can evaluate you in person. Best wishes and good luck. Richard G. Reish, M.D. Harvard-trained plastic surgeon
