Facelift After Weight Loss
Facial rejuvenation considerations after major weight loss.
How Weight Loss Affects the Face
Major weight loss commonly produces volume loss in the cheeks and temples, accelerated skin laxity, jowling, and neck redundancy.
Timing
Weight should be stable — commonly 6–12 months — before considering surgery. Nutritional status should be optimized.
Common Surgical Plans
A deep plane facelift may be combined with neck lift, fat grafting, and sometimes blepharoplasty to address both descent and volume loss.
