37 Yr Male, Interested in Mini Face Tuck? (photo)

But the problem is my face – it appears swollen/baggy, especially on the on right side (So much so that people think I had a facial paralysis episode as a kid) and I feel using a mini tuck might help? My questions are: 1) Do you do/would you recommend a mini tuck for my case, and my age/weight? 2) If so, what is the approximate cost and recovery time? 3) Does BCBS PPO cover it? Thank you I will look forward to hearing from you.

37 yo Male and Mini Facelift

I would not recommend a mini facelift to you at this point. Insurance HMO or PPO will not cover a cosmetic procedure. Kenneth Hughes, MD HughesPlasticSurgery Los Angeles, CA

Facial assymetry, mini face lift

Options to improve a baggy face include liposuction of the jowls and Botox injections to decrease the size of the masseter cheek muscles. Please consult in person with a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon prior to making any treatment decisions. Prices range from $200 for botox to $2000 for facial /neck liposuction. Cheers see video

These issues can be addressed following the proper aesthetics of facial beauty using Cheek Implants to create a more angular face, Chin Augmentation with a Chin Implant for a stronger... more

Facial asymmetry

You may have some facial asymmetry. It does need to be fully evaluated to see where and what is causing the asymmetry, then you can have a plan of correction. See a good Board Certified Plastic surgeon (American Board Of Plastic Surgery). Computer imaging can help
