Can I Have a Facelift if I Am Fat?

August 3, 2012
Asked By:applefritter in Houston, TX

I am a 50 year old female who is 5'7" 215 pounds. I have been about this weight for 20 years. I walk an hour a day, mostly vegan so my cholesterol is never over 170. I am healthy but was diagnosed with Hashimoto's thyroiditis around 15 years ago. I currently take 120 of Armour thyroid and have no problems or symptoms. My face looks good except for mild sagging of the lower jaw area..but my neck is going to hell in handbasket. I would like to get a face and necklift. Am I to fat?
