Facelift After Weight Loss – Excess Skin Removal After Bariatric Surgery

Information about facelift procedures following weight loss in New York, NY

Many obese people have large round faces and full heavy necks. As morbidly obese people lose weight, their faces lose their youthful fullness- resulting in an older appearance than when they were obese. This means that weight loss plastic surgery is not only becoming frequent but very necessary. A weight loss facelift or neck lift after weight loss can be great for both health and self-esteem.

Today, with the advent of bariatric surgery, it is not uncommon for many patients to lose 100 pounds or more. Plastic surgery after bariatric surgery is becoming more common and easier.

Weight loss can exacerbate the aging process; the skin becomes loose and saggy as fat decreases, heavy lines appear, and the neck sags giving the person a “turkey neck”. The appearance of heavy lines around the cheeks, beneath the eyes, and jowls gives a “St. Bernard look.”

Board-certified plastic surgeon Doctor Jacono regularly performs face and neck lifts on those who have taken control of their health and lost weight. In the quest for better health, Doctor Jacono has noticed these changes in appearance can be somewhat troubling to the person losing weight.

These dramatic changes in appearance with plastic surgery after weight loss can often have a negative psychological effect on the patient. These changes may also affect the employment ability and personal interactions of the morbidly obese person who is losing weight. People in sales and other professions where appearance is crucial need to look their best. Others may feel like strangers in their own bodies as they look in the mirror and don’t recognize the person looking back at them.

Facelift after Weight-loss Options

Luckily, there are options. Cosmetic surgical procedures can restore facial contours and get rid of excess skin. A facelift combined with a neck lift is an excellent option for patients who lost a significant amount of weight. This will help them not only to look younger but to have their face match their new and healthier body.

Other procedures may be performed at the same time if indicated. At your consultation, you will discuss the areas that are most troubling for you.

Because of the large amount of excess skin, incisions that begin at the hairline are necessary. These incisions are hidden inside the ear and down along the hairline behind the ear if necessary. There is an extra incision under the chin to repair the neck muscles in front of the neck. The benefits of these procedures are that they: remove and lessen wrinkles, tighten sagging areas, and remove excess skin-revealing the face that the patient was always meant to have.

These procedures are usually performed in our surgery center with the patient going home afterward. Drains may or may not be used to evacuate any residual light bleeding and are often removed the morning after surgery.

Patients are usually presentable to be seen in public a week or two after surgery. Of course, the recovery process takes time, and results will improve as swelling decreases and post-operative ensue.

Your commitment to surgery and diet and exercise are admirable, and cosmetic surgery–facelift surgery–might just be the thing you need to give you your confidence back. You have made the commitment to health and should be very proud of that decision. Don’t let a sagging face prevent you from looking and feeling your best.

Mission Statement

Doctor Jacono’s desire to become a facial plastic surgeon was solidified in grade school. There was a girl on his school bus route who was born with a cleft lip and palate deformity. Unfortunately, whenever she spoke, air and words escaped through her nose. Kids teased her and were cruel, and nobody would sit next to her on the bus, so he decided to sit with her. One day, the girl had plastic surgery and returned to school with her face repaired. Suddenly, classmates saw her face instead of her deformity and immediately treated her normally. It was at that moment that Doctor Jacono knew he wanted to fix people’s faces and change their lives. This is why he has gone on over twenty plastic surgery missions to poor countries around the world and provided free cleft lip and surgery for birth defects to over 500 children.

Because of this experience in his childhood, Doctor Jacono understands that one of our basic needs as human beings is to feel confident about our appearance. It’s is Doctor Jacono’s passion to help his patients achieve their facial aesthetic goals, creating natural appearing results to either enhance their beauty and proportion or rejuvenate their aging appearance. He is a world-renowned leader in the field of facial plastic surgery and only performs surgery on the face, not the body. He has innovated many facelift, eyelid lift, and rhinoplasty surgical techniques, publishing in leading peer reviewed literature and lecturing at plastic surgery conferences all over the world. He is committed to sharing what he has learned teaching surgeons from around the world.

His approach is to maintain your uniqueness and facial identity; it is still you just better. To do this he uses a customized, bespoke approach to each patient employing the most minimally invasive, innovative, and cutting-edge technology. Doctor Jacono has never performed the same procedure on any two of the thousands of patients he has treated. He is committed to providing his surgical expertise in a caring, supportive environment with a professional staff that has you as their focus and concern.
