I have lost 40 pounds and have 20 more to go (55 yo female). When I first lost 20 pounds everyone kept telling me how young I looked. I would get looks. Then I lost 40 pds and no one even looks at me. I am afraid to lose the last 20. I had a round face with chubby cheeks and still have a round face. But some of the volume is gone it is making me look older. Will a facelift give me a youthful look again? Should I lose 20 more pds? I feel like gaining 20 pds to look younger. Ha!

Answer: Lose weight before facelift Many patients ask me if they should lose weight before a facelift. If it's a matter of losing twenty pounds, it simply will not make any difference. Having the facelift performed in and of itself will make you look like you've lost weight. Losing an additional twenty pounds after the facelift should not cause it to sag. I say go for it now and enjoy the new you.

Answer: Weight loss
It is in any case desireble to loss all possible weight before any plastic surgery procedure but not everybody can do that. When the patient get spable in the weight loss the surgery can be executed and the patient will be satified. Also the disposition of the fat in the body is diferent in everybody and some patient even when they are not obese the have deformities like doble chin than make them look hevier than what the BMI is so this surgery will carrect that problem.
