I am a 73 year old woman who needs a face and neck lift.

needaliftnowJan 6, 2018

I don't want to have invasive surgery and wonder if there are other options that would improve my neck and jowls. I would also like to get rid of my muffin top. I am not overweight and exercise but I have that roll I can't get rid of that ruins my look in a bikini or tight clothes.

Thank you for your question.  You do not have enough loose skin to justify a facelift.  If you have a good skin regime, maybe some chemical peels to brighten your skin then it would appear fresher.  You have nice skin its all good to take care of it.  All The Best

I would recommend that you discuss your concerns with your surgeon and see if there are any other specialists that you would benefit from seeing. You may need to be examined and treated by an ophthalmologist.

For those who have performed facelifts on more than one patient with Ehlers-Danlos type hypermobile, what have you found helps?

A facelift for a patient with EDS is not a contraindicated, but you should be aware of the risk of  formation of widened scars. The best option would be a lift that places the tension of the lift on the deep structures of the face, instead of the skin.

For this reason, no general answer can be safely offered to you.  I suggest in your search for revisional surgery you seek multiple opinions regarding what is the best approach or option for you.  Be careful what you look for out there.
