Neck sagging with EDS - recommendations?

Question

i am a 53 yr old with EDS , I had liposuction a few years back and now notice sagging , any recommendations for me and my syndrome?

John Mesa, MD · Answer

Patient with EDS (Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome) and saggy skin may benefit from a neck lift. However, due to the EDS, the longevity of the neck lift results could be shorter than in people without EDS.  Therefore , a consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon specialized in face and neck procedures could help to determine the pros and cons of neck lift with EDS

Richard G. Reish, MD, FACS · Answer

Hello and thank you for your question.  The
best advice you can receive is from an in-person consultation.  It all depends on how severe your EDS is.  Does is affect mostly your joints or skin?   Make sure you
specifically look at before and after pictures of real patients who have
had this surgery performed by your surgeon and evaluate their
results.   The most important aspect is to find a surgeon you are
comfortable with. I recommend that you seek consultation with a qualified
board-certified plastic surgeon who can evaluate you in person.
Best wishes and good luck.
