Should I lose weight before Lower Face Lift? (photo)

It is common for patients considering undergoing a neck lift or lower face lift to inquire about the effects of weight loss and the ultimate results from surgery.  I advise any overweight patient that is going to lose more than 20lbs to wait to lose the weight before undergoing surgery.  If it is less than 20lbs, there is less benefit in waiting.  I hope this helps.  

Thank you for your question.  I would always advise my patients to lose the weight wanted first, as this can prevent the need for additional surgeries to remove excess skin should you subsequently lose weight Best Wishes 

Waiting until you are close to your stable weight is probably in your best interest. Do not lose weight if you are planning on gaining it back after the procedure.

You are indeed a good candidate for a lower facelift along with some suctioning of the fat of your neck.  I don't think that fat injections are a worthwhile option in your situation.  As far as weight loss is concerned, it would be of some benefit to lies the weight prior to surgery, but even if you can't lose the weight, you'll still get a very nice result.

lose weight before a face/neck lift in order to get the best possible results.  Otherwise you would likely re-develop loose skin and you wouldn't be happy with your results.
