Hi, I'm 32 year old male, constantly dealing with disbelieving looks when I'm asked my age. I think I need a facelift. I know I'm really young for this, but if I look this bad now and a facelift can help, then why wait? I'd like to enjoy some more my (relative) youth... I've attached a picture, the areas I think I need are a facelift for my jowls, fillers or a submalar implant for my hollow cheeks, and simple fillers for my nasolabial folds. Am I a candidate for a facelift? Thanks
The short answer is that I don’t believe that you are a candidate for a face lift at this time. You would do well to have some filler placed into the malar areas and the nasolabial creases. The skin tone and scarring would be improved with a fractionated CO2 laser treatment.
It has been 2 weeks and 2 days after my facelift. Only my neck has a little bruising. The swelling in face has gone down a lot but there still some. My neck is more swollen and a bit lumpy. When can I expect my neck to be more normal? I hate turtleneck sweaters and I have to go back to work in a few days and I don't want to tell anyone. I want the "refreshed" and not the "surgical" look. Thanks.
It is not unusual to have some swelling after a face lift. Certain techniques, such as deep plane and subperiosteal face lifts seem to create more swelling. Using the high-SMAS technique that we employ, most of the swelling is gone by about 10 days postoperatively. There can be some residual swelling in the temples and at the lowest point of dissection in the neck that may take a little longer fo resolve. You may want to see your plastic surgeon to see if there is any fluid collection that may need to be aspirated.
Do you think that wearing a face-lift compression garment (or a face-bra as someone calls it) while you sleep can be beneficial to tighten up facial contours or at least to avoid/minimize sagging? Even if you haven't had a face-lift? Where can I buy a good one? The 1st time I heard about a "face bra" was from a doctor who highly recommended it to those who run/jog a lot, because the skin of the face is subjected to several micro-traumas while you run. This is also the reasoning behind sport bras
There is simply no evidence that a face bra or compression garment will prevent changes of facial aging. The garment would address only one component of facial aging and that is the gravitational component. Other contributing factors such as genetics, weight changes, and sun damage would not be addressed.
