My aunt is considering a facelift. She has a considerable amount of loose skin but also very, deep lines around the cheek, mouth, chin and lips. Even when you pull the skin and simulate a facelift the lines are still there. Does anyone have experience in combining the two?

Answer: Can a facelift be combined with a full face phenol/croton oil peel? I would separate the two procedures for safety. Find a plastic surgeon with ELITE credentials who performs hundreds of facelifts, necklifts, facelift revisions, and facial procedures each year. Then look at the plastic surgeon's website before and after photo galleries to get a sense of who can deliver the results. Kenneth Hughes, MDLos Angeles, CA

Answer: Facelift first then peel later A facelift reshapes and lifts the tissues, and a peel improves the quality of the skin but it is risky to do them both at the same time. Areas that are not lifted surgically such as the skin above and below the mouth and around the eyes can be done, but often it is best to wait and do the full face later since then the skin will all look the same.
