Best procedure to fix lower face, neck, and the drooping of left eye? (Photo)

Question

I had an Advanced Facelift and upper blepharoplasty 6 years ago. I loved my results for about 4 years but have noticed that my lower face and neck are looking worse than before my surgery. There’s too much skin hanging around my mouth area and neck and my face is really starting to show asymmetry and drooping of my left eye. I don’t want fillers because I’ve had that before and hated the “pillow face” look it gave me, so I had it removed. Looking for surgical recommendations only.

Individuals with lower or upper jaws positioned more forward or backward than normal due to genetic characteristics often require orthognathic treatment and jaw surgery. This skeletal disorder is addressed through both orthodontic treatments and surgical procedures. Additionally, jaw surgery is a suitable treatment for those with overbites, underbites, crossbites, or open bites. Patients who have facial asymmetry, suffer from sleep apnea, or desire a stronger jawline are also ideal candidates.
Furthermore, individuals seeking a V-shaped facial structure can benefit from this surgery. The procedure allows for the creation of specific jawline aesthetics, such as the ‘Texas jaw’ or ‘California jaw,’ catering to those who wish to enhance their facial contours in these specific styles. Our treatments ensure that a wide range of jaw-related issues, whether functional or aesthetic, can be effectively addressed through jaw surgery.
You have a convex profile and your lower jaw is receding. Based on the photos you provided, the recommended treatment plan (which may vary with further investigations) includes bimaxillary surgery, genioplasty, and post-surgical Invisalign orthodontic treatment.

There are several issues going on with your face, based on these limited photographs. You still have residual fat deposits in the neck, jowls, elevated temporal/ sideburn hairlines, and Pixi earlobes bilaterally. A lower face and neck lift procedure properly performed could address repairing all of these issues which would help not only rejuvenate your face, but remove the issues that are shown on your photographs.
