I'm 36 but Would a Mid-facelift Improve my Long Face and Nasolabial Folds? (photo)

I have noticed nasolabial folds since I was 32 and it is worse on the left side of my face. Since then, I had 2 vials of juvederm ultra injected into my cheekbones and the left nasolabial fold and now, 6 months later, it is already bothering me again. Even right after the procedure, it did not see to do that much. I would like something more permanent and something that would show more improvement, but have been told to wait till I'm older by 2 surgeons. Would a cheek lift solve my problem?

A: Deep nasolabial fold treatment

The question is whether they can ever be fully corrected.  Not all features of "aging", like the Nasolabial folds" are only present as one gets older...some, are present at birth...Deep Nasolabial folds, low brows, full upper lids are not just signs of aging, they are facial features that are present at birth. 

If you've had these since you were a child, then you will get improvement with a number of treatments, ranging from fillers to a lift, but not eradication.  I hope this helps..

Best, 

Dr. Phil

What is the Best Alternative to a Face Lift?

rather than get face lift i would prefer a nonsurgical treatment. what do the doctors say works best for sag in jowls and loose neck skin. 

A: Ultherapy is the best alternative to a face lift

If you are looking for a non-surgical alternative to a facelift, then Ultherapy is the best alternative.  Hands down.  I think this decision is best made in a consultation with your doctor.  It really depends on what your facial analysis reveals, and what your expecations are for improvement.  

Ultherapy has the advantage of having virtually no downtime, but the results usually will last for a year or two.  Usually the effects are much more subtle than a facelift, but if you're a person who is new to the whole landscape of cosmetic medicine and surgery, or possibly do not want anyone to know that you've "had work done" - Ultherapy may be for you.

Facelifts, when performed by an expert, can look natural and beautiful.  The results should last for 10 years or more, but it can take 2 to 3 weeks of being away from your social scene until you recover.

Having a physician who specializes in the Aging Face and has experience performing both surgical and nonsurgical alternatives is helpful.  Don't be afraid to get 2nd and 3rd opinions.

When Should Facelift Sutures Be Removed?

How Many Days Post Op from a Facelift Should Sutures in Front of Ears Be Removed, for the best possible chance of limited scarring? Thank you

A: Facelift: sutures

Generally  pre/ post auricular sutures are removed 5 - 7 days after surgery.  Everybody's case is unique and you should follow the orders of the surgeon.
