Still Have Jowls / Double Chin 2 Months Post Op Neck and Face Lift. Will It Improve? I still have jowls and double chin. Loose skin is better than before.

A: secondary treatment for residual jowling post facelift

If there is significant jowl fat and neck fat after your facelift a procedure called microliposuction may help. I perform this with small cannulas an local anesthesia only. Some improvement will be evident after swelling and slight bruising resolve in a few weeks. I find other options less effective.

I Am 76 Years Old, Can I Get A Facelift? Since I am quite old and have lots of wrinkles will it be worth my while and how successful will the results be and how long will they last? Kelly

A: Facelift at 76 years old

At 76 it really depends on the goals we set and the quality of the tissue. Chronologic age is irrelevant to the plan. A detailed assessment is the ultimate means to deciding where we will go.

You do describe a great deal of wrinkles as well as other aging parameters. Fine wrinkles will not be corrected nor treated by a Facelift. Treatment of those fine wrinkles will require an aggressive chemical peel or laser resurfacing, which is not done at the same time.

All the best,

What Can Be Done About Cheek Asymmetry After Mid-face Lift with Fat Grafting? At 11-days post-surgery, I developed a hematoma on my right cheek. Due to the hematoma, my R cheek felt rigid. Massage has helped to soften the tissue. Now 5-weeks post-surgery, I still have some lumps/bruising. My L cheek is plumper vs. my R. Did the hematoma cause lower fat "take"? Before the fat completes the process of developing a blood supply, is there anything to be done to lower the viability on the L (for symmetry)? I don't want to go through any future fat grafting procedures.

A: Assymetry after a facelift

At this point I would wait a few months as things change and healing continues to evolve. Your biggest mistake would be going back in too soon to try to resolve something that is still evolving.
