I am in my mid 40. I live in northern Virginia. I am very conscious about the droopyness on my face and needs some input on what minimum cost affecting procedures and less down time I can do to achieve maximum results. I am depressed about: 1) fat under my neck 2) lost definition in my cheeks and jowls 3) heavy nasolabial folds 4) droopy corners of mouth 5) discoloration and melasma 6) long wrinkles under eyes when I smile

Answer: Options for Facial Rejuvenation If your problem is related to a significant weight gain, the first course of treatment would be weight loss. Depending on the extent of your facial aging the solution might require a chin implant to better define your jawline, submental defatting and or plication or preferentially a vertical facelift in combination with some of the above. Your skin issues can be addressed with the ZO skin line quite effectively. Droopy corners and smiling wrinkles might respond to Botox or dysport. Choose wisely, the cheap fixer uppers can cost you quite a bit with often disappointing results!Christian Drehsen, M.D.

Answer: Help with facial aging You have outlined a long list of areas you'd like improved, and you have not defined what you mean by "minimum" cost. In my experience when patients would like so many areas improved, minimum cost OVER TIME is actually to have surgery, since it will give you the longest lasting results, and spread over time, is a very good investment if you're a good candidate. Not everything can be accomplished with surgery, and Without an exam, it will not be possible to fully evaluate you and give you recommendations. Be sure to discuss your goals and concerns with your board certified plastic surgeon and consider the pros and the cons. Be certain your surgeon is properly certified.
