Ive lost a significant amount of weight post pregnancy, that now my neck is looking lax, and im embarrassed by it. I also have a bulging eye bag under one eye only (the side i always sleep on). Would it be worth having that eye bag removed on its own (to me its quite obvious, and i avoid having photos taken now because of it), as i dont really require surgery on my other eye. Could i have both procedures done at the same time? And what would the recovery time be?

Answer: Age and Necklift Dear MissSydney,Age and health are important factors to consider when considering to undergo cosmetic surgery. You should consult a board certified facial plastic surgeon to learn if he/she is capable of doing both surgeries at the same time. My experience with those procedures is that, the Laser-Assisted Weekend Necklift allows minimal recovery time and thus patients are able to receive additional surgery as needed.Sincerely,Ross A.

Answer: Is 38 y.o too young to have a neck lift? You are not too young to have a neck lift especially under the circumstances you described. A neck lift would address the loose skin you have experienced after weight loss and pregnancy. Typically, you would want to do both eyes, but if at the time of your consultation, your surgeon agrees with you and recommends only doing the one, then yes, one eye or both eyes can be done at the same time as your neck lift. Be sure to consult with a board certified plastic surgeons to learn what your best options are and look at photos of what to expect. Realistic expectations are important so definitely discuss those with your surgeon. Best of luck! ac
