Sagging Jowls - Is a Mid-Face Lift Needed with Lower Lift?

I am 54, but look slightly younger. I don't mind the normal aging around my eyes, etc. but my sagging jowls bother me. My Plastic Surgeon says he would not recommend having a lower face lift without at least also doing a mid-face lift, as well as a brow lift. Now he has agreed he would feel comfortable doing the lift without a brow lift, but says he would definitely recommend a mid-face lift with the lower face lift. Is it really necessary to also have a mid face lift with a lower face lift?

A: combining surgeries may not be necessary if your goals are limited to jowling

if jowling is your conly concern,  a mini facelift may be sufficient.  Your surgeon will discuss what each procedure can add to your overall results.  however if your goals are limited to the jowl area, you may be able to obtain the results you want with a more limited surgery.  In my practice, I find the mini-facelift procedure able  to meet many of my patient's goals for jowling and neck lift improvement if they don't desire more extensive procedures.
