I’m almost 5 weeks post op face and neck lift. I’ve lost a little over 10 pounds post op. I lost twenty pounds prior to my face and neck lift, and now a little over 10 pounds post op. I’m a healthy weight and don’t desire to lose more weight, but the pounds just seem to be shedding. Will this ruin the result of my face and neck lift? How much weight is too much weight to lose post op? Thank you in advance for your time and answers.

Answer: Weight loss after facelift surgery I don't see a problem with mild to moderate weight loss after facelift surgery - you may see some thinning of the face, but you should not encounter facial skin laxity

Answer: How much weight loss is safe after a facelift? Hi there, we recommend for all of our prospective facelift patients to be within 5 lbs of their target weight prior to having the procedure. Losing weight after a tightening lift will always cause some further relaxation of the tissues. For most patients 5-10 lbs should not cause significant change although that is somewhat dependent of overall facial fullness to start with. Certainly loss of more than 15 lbs will lead to noticeable deflation of the face and so should be avoided if possible. Hope this is helpful!
