47, over 100 pound weight loss - What do you suggest would revive my face and neck? (Photo)

Question

Hello I recently lost over 100 pounds and it really aged my face. I am 47 years old. My eyes look really tired and my neck got really saggy. What do you suggest would revive my face and neck? Do I need a whole face lift or necklift and eyelid surgery? What would spruce me up?

Gary M. Horndeski, MD · Answer

You would benefit from a facelift and brow lift.  The brow lift will decrease the vertical height of the forehead, lower the hairline and pull up the eyebrows.  The facelift will pull up your neck at the same time.  I recommend doing these 2 first and then consider a blepharoplasty, if necessary.  You would also benefit from an eccentric lip lift.  An eccentric lip lift does 4 things: shortens the distance between your nose and upper lip, increases the mucosa of the upper lip, increases the incisor show and pulls up the corners.

Best Wishes,

Gary Horndeski, M.D.
