Getting a Face & Neck Lift Following Weight Loss
After losing a large amount of weight as a result of a stringent diet and exercise regimen or weight loss surgery, most patients are happy to observe the excess pounds rapidly melting away. However, some of them also notice unwelcome side effects of massive weight loss, such as excess skin on the abdomen, thighs, arms, and neck. In addition, the face might appear older as it loses some of its youthful plumpness. While troublesome, these aesthetic problems can be resolved through advanced post-weight loss plastic surgery procedures.

Face and Neck Lift After Massive Weight Loss
Face and neck lifts are very popular procedures among formerly obese patients. When you lose a significant amount of weight, the facial area that was once full loses volume, and the facial skin becomes deflated and droopy. Face and neck lift procedures after weight loss can eliminate excess skin from the neck area and tighten the facial muscles and skin, creating a beautifully rejuvenated facial profile. As a highly experienced Denver facelift specialist, Dr. Slenkovich has helped numerous individuals improve both their appearance and self-confidence through these procedures. Dr. Slenkovich typically recommends that formerly obese patients undergo facelift surgery in conjunction with neck lift surgery, as this combination treatment delivers the best possible aesthetic outcomes.
