Should I lose weight before or after my Facelift?

Every time that patients are thinking about having a facelift and they are losing or gaining weight, the best is to have a stable weight by the time of surgery. Why? Because when we gain weight we will also increase the volume of the face, so if you gain weight after a facelift, certain areas where we do not have fatty deposits may show up. Or, if you lose a lot of weight after a facelift, you will likely have, a, skin laxity, so loose skin after the facelift. So, ideally, is that the patient is at a stable weight for at least three months and will be able to maintain this weight after surgery. Those are always the best and more stable results after surgery.
