Asked By:hannahjohns in Berlin, Thüringen, Almanya
Hello, I am 25 years old and I lost 10 kilos in a month last year. Then I had gaps in various places on my face. I am especially uncomfortable with the line on the edge of the mouth, it makes me look unhappy. In the same way, I have sagging in my neck. Do I need to have surgery because my cheeks are down, should I have an endoscopic middle face lift or will the filling be enough?

(Based off your single photo) - would be good to see the full face with eyes and brows to give a full evaluation - but seeing you have NLF - you can benefit from a midface lift versus fillers / fat grafting - results will vary based off the extent of surgical invasiveness you want to proceed...
Hello and thank you for the question. The photograph you have provided gives a limited view for evaluation. Generally speaking, from what can be seen, there is minimal to now obvious volume deficiency, although you may have some decent of the malar fat pads and subtle jowling. You may benefit...
Although you are very young, still a deep plane facelift will help you achieve a well defined jaw line, and reduction in jowls. Fat transfer to the midface can be done at the same time to reduce the depressed areas from loss of collagen.
