Should I have a face/neck lift or tummy tuck first? I lost 80 pounds through diet and exercise.

Asked By:Fantastic91130 in Sydney, New South Wales, Australia

I lost 80 pounds via diet/exercise and want to have a face/neck lift (1 surgery) and tummy tuck/waist liposuction (2 surgery). Which do I do first as I plan to have them 7 weeks apart? I would like to get the face/neck lift first but fear the loss of pounds via the tummy tuck/waist liposuction as the 2nd surgery will change the fat composition on my face & body and hinder the final facelift result
