I am in early forties and I'm noticing indents on the corner of my upper mouth and lines around my mouth. I was wondering if I shall go in for mid face lift or lower face lift with chin implant? Also, I have undergone rhinoplasty which had gone bad.
I have asymmetrical nostrils with too much cartilage removed on one side. Two months ago I got juvederm on my upper lips, and it looks overly done. Also, I have some radiasse on my cheeks which too appears looking crooked.Please help. Thanks.
In your early forties, for some a soft or mini-facelift can make sense to improve the jawline and early jowl, and also will allow filling of cheek hollows. However without any of these issues lower facelift is out of the picture, and with a fairly high cheek so is a mid-facelift. We would suggest sticking with injectables, or consider structural facial fat grafting to improve facial shape. Chin implants as well have a very strong impact on facial shape and appearance and in your forties would be on our caution list.
Best of luck,

With a Lower Face and Necklift, Does the Incision Have to Go in Front of the ear and up the back of the ear, or does it also have to cross over at the back of ear into the hair? Does it depend on how much skin has to be removed? It seems that incision going across would be the one that could be the most visible. Any help is appreciated.
There are at least 20 different face lift incisions and techniques that have been described and the choice may be a function of how much lax skin you have and its' distribution when making the decision. Discuss your options with your surgeon
I'm 44 and had a breast reduction in 1989. The procedure was successful aside from needing radiation under my breasts for keloids. As I am older now with sagging skin I'd like to reduce my breasts slightly as well as lift them and am wondering if I could combine such a surgery with a lower facelift. The facelift would be much more minimal than the breast so I'm wondering if I could combine the two or whether it would be too complicated/dangerous. What do you think?
This really depends on your overall health and the anticipated length of the combined surgical procedure. However, I would be concerned about the possible recurrence of the keloids and you should discuss this with the surgeon.
