A full facelift is likely your best option.

Thank you for your question and the photos. A full facelift is likely your best option. If you do not wish to have surgery, aggressive fractionated laser resurfacing with some strategic botox and injectable fillers can give you partial improvement. If you go the nonsurgical route, multiple treatments would be necessary and these costs add up over time. To be sure, see two or more board-certified plastic surgeons in your area for a full and complete evaluation to make sure... more

Best Options for Aging Face, 65 Year Old Woman?

Thanks for posting your question and video. Your face show the typical signs of aging as does the neck. A minimal incision Face Lift with shaping of the cheeks anteriorly (front) would rejuvenate the face making it appear more feminine and naturally attractive. This can be performed using smaller incisions in about 90 minutes with a quick recovery time. The neck is the issue that would need to be determined as it constitutes the majority of the excess skin,... more

Your face and neck.

Thank you for the question. You video was very helpful. I think the other surgeons have done a nice job of describing your options so I'll just run down the practical aspects for you. To achieve what you're looking for I do think surgery would be your best option. Very frankly speaking you can expect 10 to 14 days before you would want to return to work/social activities. Now this isn't 2 weeks of suffering but simply put it's unlikely your swelling or... more

Jowls and Nasolabibial Folds

Hi, Thanks for the video, its nice to actually hear and see someone rather than just answering questions in a vacuum. As far as your jowls and neck go, a lifting procedure such as a lower facelift or minifacel lift can address those issues nicely. These procedures can be done under local anaesthesia with minimal sedation. This reduces all risks associated with general anasthesia. Mini-facelift simply implies less surgical dissection which in turn results in less swelling and... more

Facelift

There are lots of nonsurgical options offered, but none of them will give you the results you want so it is best not to waste your resources in that way. Rejuvenation in your case means repositioning the tissues, especially the deep tissues, to take away many of the changes due to gravity. If you simply lay on your back and hold a mirror directly over your face you will get a good approximation of the changes you can get from a good facelift. There are no shortcuts to that. You mentiioned a... more

Full Face and Neck Lift

I would recommend a full face and neck lift to address your concerns. This can be performed with a short scar facelift. Find the plastic surgeon with ELITE credentials who performs hundreds of facelifts each year. Kenneth Hughes, MD Los Angeles, CA

Numerous options..

Thank you for your video. Your desire to avoid surgery is natural however the issues you are concerned about when you lifted your cheeks and neck can only be addressed surgically. That being said, there are numerous options for the kind of surgery you can have. I have specialized in facial aging procedures (non surgical and surgical) for about 20 years and wrote a book "The Fine Art of Looking Younger". There is no shortage of gimmicks in the field of Cosmetic Medicine. Non surgical... more

Filling instead of face lifting is possible and could even be better than traditional facelifting

You don't have to have a facelift to look rejuvenated. But sometimes a facelift can help with your jowls and neck. You should look into filling your face in just the right way. If done thoughtfully, you can make your face smaller and more youthful at the same time. see video

The Best procedure addresses your desires with the least risk.

Thank you for the photos and the video was fantastic. You will see a variety of procedures advocated or even promoted on the internet. No one procedure is best. In general the surgical procedures with a shorter downtime often have a less dramatic result. You need to let your surgeon know which is most important to you. Most patients will not have the dramatic improvement that surgery can offer with non surgical "fillers" . Fillers however can most definitely add to the results of... more
