Gender: F Age: 37 Height: 5'5" Weight: 119 lbs I was wondering if I would be eligible for a mini-facelift though I am only 37 and lacking jowls. My face is sunken; especially on the left side, and has lost volume. I've read about many non-surgical procedures, but felt that a mini-facelift (and fat transfer?) would provide longer lasting results in comparison, and less maintenance. I am looking for some lift, jaw definition, and volume. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
Answer: Facelift timing is based on the individual, not the age Thank you for your question. I often tell patients that age isn't the most important factor to consider, rather, the individual's anatomy and concerns. I've had many facelift patients who are in their late 30s and early 40s. In fact, there is evidence that lifting in younger patients will lead to longer lasting results given that they heal faster. Regarding the type of lift used, please be sure to address your concerns with your surgeon. There are many types of facelifts out there, and nomenclature is not standardized, meaning a "mini lift" for one surgeon may mean something else to another. Regardless of what a surgeon calls a procedure, just make sure he or she knows what your concerns are and will perform the necessary steps to address them. I hope that helps, and all the best.

Answer: What you should know about mini facelift procedures Thank you for your question and for providing photos. You may be a candidate for a mini facelift to provide a natural, lifted appearance. This procedure can rejuvenate the face by tightening the underlying facial muscles and repositioning them as an anchor to support the skin. The neck and jawline can also be sculpted to create a more defined jawline.

Answer: Facial Sculpting Candidate -- Fillers, Threads, Fat Transfer, Implants, See an expert It's difficult to say without the benefit of a formal evaluation. This is my expertise and a huge portion of my practice. Asymmetry is normal and expected. See an expert who does facial shaping with surgical and non surgical methods to get a comprehensive option. Best, Dr. Emer.

Answer: Upper Lift Thank you for your question. After examining your pictures I believe that all you need is what I call an Upper mini faceLift, which is a small incision from the top of the ear up and the hairline lifting your cheeks and jowls also. This will do a great job tightening your face. I also believe that mid face filler deep to the bone which we consider a Y lift would also be helpful.

Answer: Facelift with Fat Injections From the pictures that I have received, I can see that the midface has lost elasticity and as you describe, it has sunk, especially on the left side.
