I am 65, slim, with a long face, It has been suggested to me that fat grafts would not be very successful in my case as I do not have (quality or quantity) of good fat supplies. I have been contemplating a face lift for many years and fat grafting to deep folds and lack of volume has been suggested but this comment about the success of this procedure is confusing. Healing time for nose surgery at my age.
Answer: Facelift and fat grafting Hi,In my mind facial rejuvination is two fold - elevation of tissue and restoration of volume.A facelift will address the tissue/Skin laxity , and I feel fat grafting will be key to achieving the restoration of youthful volume you will need to attain the optimal result. The facelift will likely be performed at the same time as a neck lift( as per your preference) and the the fat grafting. This will achieve one procedure that rejuvenates the upper and lower face as well as the neck. Regards the fat, I find there is always fat to harvest and if the the tummy is insufficient then the thigh is the next stopI hope that is of some helpJeremy Hunt

Answer: Facelift Benefits Thin, Saggy Faces The lax, sagging skin that is evident in your photos is best treated by a traditional face lift. A facelift will also tighten your neck skin and give definition to your jawline. Fat grafting can help fill out your cheeks, which have lost volume with age. As long as you are healthy and follow your surgeon's post operative guidelines, you should be back to most of your normal activities approximately 2 weeks after receiving either a facelift or rhinoplasty. Both will take approximately year to fully appreciate the final results. Good luck.

Answer: Facelift With Fat Grafting, Possible to Add Rhinoplasty I would consider you an ideal candidate for a facelift, with relaxation both in the neck and around the mouth that would be greatly improved with surgery. I do incorporate some fat grafting around the mouth where fat is lost with age in all but the thinnest patients, and I find it is helpful — but not essential. I have combined facelift and rhinoplasty in the same patient many times. With both, I would expect you to feel comfortable socially within about 2 weeks.

Answer: Facelift procedure for thin face I agree that procedures short of surgery will not work well in your case. Fat grafting can be added to a face-lift procedure though, and may help the cheek contours as well as the nasolabial folds. Recovery should not be a big challenge if you are otherwise healthy. The lip lines can benefit from other procedures, such as laser, fat injection or fillers. Each has pros/cons that you may wish to consider to enhance your overall result.

Answer: Considerations for a facelift From the photos you posted you are an excellent candidate for a facelift and can expect good correction of sagging skin, jowling and neck laxity. Your nasolabial folds may benefit from volume augmentation, which could be performed concurrently. As long as you are in good health, you should heal well from nose surgery or facelift. I tell patients to expect two weeks from time to surgery to resume normal daily activities.
