Would a woman 68 yrs old still be considered for a neck lift?

"These are all natural parts of the aging process. What we can do is try preventative treatments or get a neck lift / face lift earlier in the aging process. There are numerous non-surgical options available, and some can be used in combination to get best outcomes, but you would need a consultation with an expert.

Some options for skin tightening include:

- Thermage radiofrequency to heat the skin, tighten it over time, and prevent the aging process
- Ultherapy high-intensity ultrasound to contract the muscle, tighten the face and neck, and prevent the aging process
- PDO NovaThreads or InstaLift threads for immediate lifting without surgery and long-term collagen production
- Sculptra injections for collagen production to areas of the face and neck with crepey skin or early sagging
- BTL Exilis Ultra, Venus Legacy, and Thermi250 for monthly collagen stimulation with facials
- ThermiRF, Renuvion (J Plasma), or Inmode BodyTite for internal heating and tightening with or without surgery
- Fillers (or facial implants) to contour the jawline and chin to improve the appearance of the neck
- Face lift / neck lift with fat grafting and fillers if you need a significant improvement​

​I would suggest getting a formal evaluation with a cosmetic dermatologist. Best, Dr. Emer​​​​"

The critical question in considering appropriateness for a
neck lift is the patient's overall health and not age. I have done many face or
neck lifts for patients in their 80s and one for a patient older than 90. Although
the operation requires skill and experience and takes 2 or more hours to
perform, there is minimal blood loss, and the damage to your overall body is
small. Therefore, in patients in good general health, the operation can be
performed safely almost regardless of age. It is important to discuss your
situation with your surgeon during consultation. Best wishes.

An exam would be necessary to determine this.  In general, a lower face and neck lift is better to improve patients with more skin laxity and jowling.Find a plastic surgeon with ELITE credentials who performs hundreds of
facelifts, necklifts facelift revisions, and facial procedures each
year. Then look at the plastic surgeon's website before and after photo
galleries to get a sense of who can deliver the results. Kenneth
