Premature facial aging after weight loss
Nov 20, 2023

Congratulations on achieving such significant weight loss
Losing weight does result in less volume within the facial fat compartments, and can contribute to signs of aging.
That said, based on the concerns listed, facelift surgery would only be able to help address some of them.
The facelift typically targets the lower face, jawline, and nasolabial folds.
The forehead is addressed in browlift surgeries as well as non surgical modalities.
The area around the eyes (peri orbital) is typically…

Any recommendations to improve my jowls?

Surgery to improve jowls
Nov 20, 2023

Facelift and neck lift surgery does a wonderful job targeting the lower face and neck for reversible signs of aging. Some of these signs are present in your photographs. Delaying surgery as long as possible is always a good idea, however it sounds as though you are ready for more definitive treatment than can be offered with non surgical modalities.

In my opinion your timeline is not realistic and I would recommend separating these two procedures with several months in between. At a minimum 6 weeks. You really want to be fully recovered before surgery #2.
You are right the 2 surgeries should not be combined as…

Persistent inflammation and intermittent swelling 6 months post facelift

Yes you have non surgical options, surgery may not be the answer to your pain
Oct 22, 2023

It is quite unfortunate to have persistent pain and swelling after facelift.

In terms of pain:

Pain is quite rare but will improve with non surgical modalities. Pain may not necessarily be improved by surgery and in some cases revision surgery can make pain syndromes worse.

If the pain can be localized to a very discrete location, you may have a neuroma and that can be improved either with therapy, or with surgery. Your surgeon will be able to help you determine that.
