I’m 55 years old, thinking about having a facelift and upper and lower eyelid surgery. I mostly hate my fat neck. My BMI is normal, but always had thick neck.
Answer: Would I benefit from facelift/ neck and eyelid surgery? Hope this message finds you well. There are many patients who due to anatomy have never experienced the look of a defined jawline; add the effects of aging and some feel they don't connect with the person they see in the mirror. Being able to help create that connection for patients is my passion. Based on the photos provided I would recommend a deep plane face/neck lift, upper bleph, brow lift. The best way is to do this is a full face rejuvenation to avoid multiple recoveries. Find a surgeon that is experienced. Best of luck.

Answer: Improved neck, contour, and jaw definition is likely. Thank you for your photographs. A well performed facelift should help to minimize your jowling, sharpen and define your jawline and thin your neck to improve the angle of your neck. An upper and lower blepharoplasty would be icing on the cake to rejuvenate your eyes and make you appear more alert and rested. What you can expect would be illustrated during your consultation with your plastic surgeon. Best wishes.

Answer: Deep plane facelift My suggestion is to opt for a procedure that returns the support to your face. The best in facial rejuvenation surgery techniques is the deep plane, which does not help to improve the support of your face from the muscle layer, obtaining natural and lasting results. Blepharoplasty improve your eyes

Answer: How you may benefit from a combination of treatments Thank you for submitting your question and photos. You are likely a candidate for an upper blepharoplasty, as well as a facelift that also addresses the neck area. An upper blepharoplasty can improve a hooded appearance and create a more awake and refreshed result by removing excess skin and modifying the fat in this area. During a facelift procedure, excess fat can be removed from the neck and jowls, the underlying muscles can be tightened, and the underlying tissue repositioned. Tightening the neck muscles can give the area under the chin more definition. I recommend scheduling an in-person consultation with an experienced, board-certified facial plastic surgeon who can conduct a physical examination and determine which combination of treatments may be right for you.

Answer: Facial and neck rejuvenation Thank you for your question and sharing your photographs. What you are describing regarding the neck contour is unfortunately an element of genetic characteristics that we don't understand. It tends to respond best to the deep plane neck contouring. Based on the comments, in my opinion you could consider either necklift, fat transfer and upper and lower eyelid surgery or facelift and necklift, upper and lower eyelid surgery. The option of using facelift and necklift as opposed to necklift and fat transfer is associated with more significant reduction in the contour of the jawline. This can produce an effect of highlighting the eyes because of the reduction in surface of the lower face. If this is the type of outcome that you would like to proceed, then the combination of facelift and necklift may be the better choice.
