Okay, my 60-year-old dh has another interview--finally--in Phila on Friday. He was laid off in October and has had come so close to being hired a couple times, but things always fall apart when the paperwork he's asked to fill out reveals his age. He has a great personality and looks as if he is 48--honestly, and IMO, he is cute as can be, with salt and pepper hair, a really nice nose, etc. But he does have noticeable extra skin around his neck. (A long-time smoker, unfortunately) So, though we realize that it is too soon to contemplate having anything done before this particular interview, and we KNOW it should not be what makes a difference in helping any company select him, we also have come to the conclusion that it would help if he looked as dynamic and youthful as he actually is inside. So, my question is, anyone have experience with a neck lift, liposuction there, etc? (I've checked out WebMD and I read what they have to say about cervicoplasty --removal of excess skin-- and platysmaplasty--removal or alteration of neck muscles.) And I see that recuperation takes 10-14 days. But I'd like to ask about any personal experiences with this procedure--and how it helped or didn't help you/your family member/friend. My dh's former boss had this done (and then went on vacation to FL for 3 months afterwards) and it took 25 years off him, according to my hubby!

my question is what paperwork is he completing that reveals his age? that should not be disclosed until after he is hired. you do not have to put down the year one graduates from high school or college. just leave that blank. sorry, i can't help you on the plastic surgery.

I read what they have to say about cervicoplasty no answers but was really confused as to how your husband had a cervix and why it was located in his neck! had to go back a couple of time and re-read this post!

Annie, check out WebMD under Plastic Surgery. That is the term they use. (And don't ask me; I am unfamiliar with most plastic surgery terms.) Cnd, Ed was offered a job twice, after the interview, and when he filled out the paperwork (social security number, etc)--so they can do criminal background checks, etc.--the year DOES come up. He never lists it on his resume or volunteers it. But you can't lie on that paperwork. So twice now, the job he thought he had was 'snatched away' without so much as a clear explanation. He has rave reviews from previous employers and references, real skills, no criminal history, so we can only conclude it's age.

I also checked out this non-surgical procedure on this site, which looks interesting: ThreadLift

That threadlift looks cool, Herck! I just wonder what would happen if one of the sutures popped and your face fell. Wow, that would be embarrasing!

o.k. herk, that is logical. i hadn't taken criminal background checks into consideration. that's a shame. i hired a guy that was 61 two years ago. and, i have an employee that just turned 72. so, not all of us discriminate on age.

Well, yay for you and your company, Cnd. I think you're the ONLY one who doesn't! I ran into the same problem when I thought I would get snapped up at age 55--course salary expectations come into play, too.

I'm gonna be 52 in April, and I'm jobhunting... this is depressing... not the age, but the discrimination OVER 50's encounter. I look and act younger, but heck, I FEEL older. LOL.

Herckle, I didn't see this until today. I had talked to a cosmetic surgeon about thread lift (I was there on another matter) and she said they last about a year. In her opinion, not worth the money. Hope this helps!

yeah i'd imagine that the skin would continue to stretch. however, i read somewhere that many men are having stuff done so that they can compete better for jobs. what is our society coming to Eh??
