I’m 49 yo women, premenopausal with dry, thin skin, 5’8” and 198lbs. I’ve never had a cosmetic procedure. In my teens, I did have both my upper premolar teeth pulled by an orthodontist. I also feel like I need an eyelid lift, but don’t want “cat” eyes. I also have hashimoto’s and am heterozygous for Factor V Leiden.

Answer: I’m not sure if I need a facelift/what procedure to help tighten and get rid of my wrinkled and crepey skin? (photos) You will need stabilization and medical clearance for hashimoto's and Factor V Leiden from your hematologist and PCP prior to considering cosmetic surgery. In the middle-aged patient (40 to 55 years), submental lipectomy combined with anterior platysmaplasty (tightening of the muscles in the neck) can be performed. I would recommend a full face and neck lift to address your concerns. This can be performed with a short scar facelift. In addition to a facelift, recommend upper eyelid surgery to complete your transformation.

Answer: Facelift options Facelift surgery would work very well for you. You have some generalized aging that would respond ver well to surgery. Laser resurfacing might also be an option but has different issues. Go get a good consultation from an experienced facial cosmetic surgeon that can help you decide. Good luck.
