You seem to have laxity from facial aging as well from weight fluctuation. You would be a great candidate for Deep Plane Facelift. You would also benefit from Upper Blepharoplasty ?may be Lower Blepharoplasty and Facial Fat Transfer. Would recommend getting a consultation from a surgeon who specializes in Deep Plane Facelift.

Congratulations on your impressive weight loss! With aging, the mid face, lower face, and neck structures sag and fat volume is lost. Based off of your photos, you appear to be a great candidate for a a deep plane facelift. This surgery helps to restore a youthful appearance by releasing key ligaments in the "deep plane" of the face and repositioning the facial structures back to a more youthful position. You may also benefit from upper or lower blepharoplasty depending on the changes you are seeking. Good luck!

Congratulations on your weight loss. After shedding large number of pounds, it’s very typical to see jowls and laxity around the eyes, cheeks, jowls and neck. A deep plane facelift and neck lift along with other adjunctive facial rejuvenation procedures such as blepharoplasty and lip lift are your best options for restoring your face to a more youthful appearance. See a facial rejuvenation specialist to discuss your options.

You could definitely do a deep plane face/neck lift but I would also consider fat grafting to add back some volume you've prbably lost on your face. Those also woul dnot necessarily addres the eyes, you need to talk to your surgeon about whether you need blephs and/or brows lifted too.

Based on your photos, you are a great candidate for deep plane facelift along with targeted fat transfer to hollow areas in the face. This would create a nice smoothing of these areas and would look very natural. Be sure to see a facial specialist for consultation.

Congratulations and continued good luck on your weight loss journey.  Significant weight loss accentuated by the aging changes normally experienced are very common reasons for patients seeking facial rejuvenation.  Specifically deep plane facelift and likely would apply to your case.  A virtual or in person consultation will provide more information.

A deep plane facelift will restore the tightness of the skin, reduce the jowls and give a smooth tight neck. You should try to get to your final or ideal weight before you proceed.
