Would a facelift help with wrinkles, jowls and neck cords? (Photos)

Question

I'm in my early 60's and would like to get a facelift (and maybe lower bleph) to take care of the wrinkles, jowls, and neck cords. Please advise.

A facelift also includes a necklift.  It is hard to assess your eyes since you have blocked them out of the photographs but you may benefit from a blepharoplasty.

Best Wishes,

You seem to be a very good candidate for lower face and neck lift based on these photos. In person consultation with an experienced board certified plastic surgeon should be your next step. Good luck.

Stephen Prendiville, MD · Answer

Thank you for your question.  The only procedure, if well performed, that will address the mid-facial area, jowl, and platysmal banding is a facelift (preferably deep plane)  with deep neck lift.  I strongly recommend a concurrent lower eyelid blepharoplasty to address the eyelid-cheek junction and perception of "bags".  Please make sure that your blood pressure and other medical factors are optimized, In-person or virtual consultations are necessary to fully evaluate.

Steve Laverson, MD, FACS · Answer

YES, a well done face and necklift with lower eyelid blepharoplasty should correct aging features and in significant measure restore a naturally youthful and beautiful facial and neck appearance.  My opinion is that there are no shortcuts and no substitute for surgical excellence for the best result.  Also, foundational ancillary care is important: Lifelong skin care (tretinoin, sun awareness), injectables as needed,  healthy diet, fitness, hygiene, and mental health.
