Lower Face Lift: Q&A
Ask a QuestionLower Facelift and Other Options for a 66-year-old?
At 66, what would be the best treatment for lower face? I have read so many negative articles about thread lift. Fillers will not be enough; I need a lift. Do I need a lower face lift or is there an easier way to fluff this area up?

Lower face and neck lift to reverse signs of aging
Diannna,
There isn't a best treatment for all patients, as each patient is unique. Only after a comprehensive evaluation in-person, can a plastic surgeon advise what treatment may be best for you.
Facelift refers to aesthetic surgery of the neck and lower face (jowls). Even though patients are confused with many different face lift procedure terms, there are really only a few different types. These basic face lift types are the SMAS, deep, or composite. Face lift surgery may be combined...

Facelt is the best way to tighten up the neck and jawline
The only option for effectively tightening up the neck and jawline is by doing a lower Facelift. Fillers and threadlifts and lasers will all be a guaranteed waste of your money and time. Facelifts, when done by a skilled surgeon, are extremely safe, predictable and effective.

Facelifts for a 66 year old
There are many names for a facelift - I prefer to call it a cheek and neck lift for example because many patients are afraid of a "facelift." However, that is probably what you need. Just don't fall for a mini procedure as it will not give much result and won't last. See many examples on my web site.

Lower facelift and necklift
Tightening of the skin of the neck and lower face can only occur with a well executed lower facelift and necklift combination. Skilled Plastic Surgeons should be able to perform this surgery for you. Fillers or lasers will not accomplish this. Trust your surgeon.
Best of luck to you.

Facelift for 66-year old.
You are correct in assuming that fillers and threads will be inadequate in solving your issues. In most 66-year old women and men the muscular support of the lower 1/3 of the face including the jawline, jowls and upper neck has weakened. The only way to restore that muscular support is a conventional Facelift. The good news is that the procedure has consistently nice results. Often chin implants, liposuction, and other small procedures add to the overall result.

Facelift Options at Age 66
It is very difficult to give an opinion without seeing pictures, more importantly than your age is how you have aged, which is dependent partly on genetics and skin care. Most women your age would not benefit from a mini Facelift or dermal fillers alone, this is more for women in their 40's. It would be unusual if a lower Facelift alone would give you the results you want. Many women are bothered by their jowls and neck and don't realize that by only correcting these, they...
