I had laser surgery about 12 years ago on my entire face. I got a staph infection and toxic blood poisoning. I ended up on a respirator for about 3 weeks in the ICU. My lungs kept filling up with fluid. I smoked two and a half packs of cigarettes per day, and I drink beer daily. I am now 47 and starting to get sagging jowls; I'm wondering, what risk would I be in by having laser for jowls only? Is there be a better alternative without surgery?
Hello,
There's laser surgery where a laser is used to treat the surface of the skin and then there is laser surgery where a laser is used to cut - dissect below the skin surface. Please look at my other laser facelift question responses to help you understand the differences and explore your options.
