Will the Mini Facelift work on a black 55 yr old female? (photos)

From the photographs I would recommend a full composite rhytidectomy. This will take care of midface and malar fat dissent, excess fat in the neck, platysma banding, and surplus skin.

Thank you for your question for sharing your photo with us.  A facelift would definitely be an option for you. Ethnicity is less of a concern, with the exception of an increased risk of scarring unfavorably.  I would definitely visit with the board-certified plastic surgeon in your area and discuss with you the pros and cons of doing a mini facelift versus a traditional facelift.  In addition, adding fat grafts or dermal filler's to the nasolabial fold in the marionette region further soften the shadows around the mouth.

Hello,

Thank
you for your question.

Based on
your goals, you may to consider procedures such as a necklift or facelift. A facelift is designed to remove excess skin and
reposition deeper tissues for a smoother, firmer contour.

I'd
recommend booking a consultation with a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon to
determine what your options would be.

Take
care.
