Answer: Thread Lift: Thin Skin Dear sashacharlesmartin,Thank you for your question. It is difficult to make an accurate assessment and recommendations without an exam. I recommend you seek in-person consultation with a facial plastic surgeon or plastic surgeon or dermatologist who can perform a thorough evaluation and discuss with you non-surgical or surgical treatment options to address your goals. To help build collagen, you may be a candidate for skin resurfacing procedures such as microneedling and radiofrequency treatments and for filler treatments such as Sculptra. You would need multiple treatments spaced across months to see gradual results that likely need to be maintained in the long run. Best,Thuy-Van Tina Ho, MDFacial Plastic Surgeon

Answer: I am 69 and considering a thread lift Much more information is needed, such as a full set of facial photographs to make a determination about the best procedure. At age 69, most patients will require a lower face and neck lift to accomplish tightening loose facial and neck skin, tightening loose Facial and neck muscles, lifting the jowls, improving the jawline and removing fat deposits in the neck which also includes a platysma-plasty. Noninvasive procedures are very ineffective in this area in the jawline. It's impossible to make your skin any thicker than already is with injections. Fillers in the cheek are used for hollowness to augment volume loss, and do not lift tissues.
