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: Do I need a facelift? I can tell you that you are a super candidate for a facelift. No other procedure will resolve the issues that you are worried about as effectively and expeditiously as a well performed facelift. Your high cheekbones and excellent facial proportions make you a great candidate for the procedure. I would definitely address the eyelids at the same time or later. The V LAIDEN is a concern, but I perform all may facial procedure under local anesthesia with moderate intravenous sedation and in your case I may do the face and eyes at two different sessions. Local anesthesia does not dilate the veins in your legs, so it is like sitting in a recliner for three hours. The recover is fast. Within ten days you are healed with minimal bruising and swelling. The facelift will address the loose skin both in your lower face and cheeks. It will also eliminate the muscle band under your chin and the jowls.

Answer: Facelift and fat injections Most patients with your facial features in my practice undergo a facelift with fat injections plus or minus eyelid surgery. You would have to discuss your other medical conditions during the consult and potentially investigate them further prior to undergoing a procedure.

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.
