54, Jowling and crepey skin after weight gain - Is a neck lift a good option for me? (Photos)

Quick two-parter regarding the best surgical treatment for my lower face. I’m 54, and after a significant weight gain I’m troubled by the jowling and crepey skin that has developed under my chin. First, would a neck lift be sufficient to address these issues? Second, should I wait until I’m back at my normal weight before having the procedure? Thank you!
