I feel my face has been starting to sag about a year ago. I used to have a very defined and pretty jow line, but now my cheeks are starting to sag. What's the best treatment? I dont think fillers are enough. I want to look like I did three years ago. Should I get a mini/lower facelift?
Answer: Early jowling Hello! This may be genetic and also because you have a thin face. Fillers may be helpful for you. Voluma is a wonderful, long lasting filler that we place in the cheek area. This creates a pretty lifted cheek and secondarily pulls up skin from the nasolabial line (line between nose and outer lip) and from the jowl. A different option would be to place filler in the nasolabial crease and along the area between the outer lip and jawline.Surgical option could be as simple as a minifacelift under local anesthesia with incision line around ears. This would provide the longest lasting result without adding volume to the face.I would recommend you seek consultation from a board certified plastic surgeon plasticsurgery.org. Good luck!

Answer: Candidate for a facelift? If you feel that your face does not reflect how young you feel on the inside, a facelift may be the solution to help you look and feel younger. During your consultation, your doctor will evaluate your skin texture and elasticity, as well as your underlying skin structure and your facial bone structure. Based on this evaluation, he/she will create a custom surgical plan, detailing specific techniques and recommendations to meet your goals. Your doctor should make sure you have a full understanding of what results to expect. Always insist on a board certified surgeon!

Answer: Fat grafting, liposuction and fillers It appears that selective fat grafting of cheeks, jaw-line and conservative liposuction of jowls would be one way to address your problem. Nasolabial folds are best treated with fillers. In-person evaluation by an experienced board certified plastic surgeon with good reputation in facial rejuvenation should be your next step. Good luck.

Answer: Improving Jowls and Cheeks with Fillers, Fat, ultherapy, Sculptra, thermage, viva, lasers, microneedling/prp I recommend a combination approach to get the most improvement. I recommend fillers for the folds and lines, while providing anatomical support with Sculptra to rebuild collagen. Lasers and microneedling/prp can improve texture and tone, while ultherapy and rf treatments can provide skin tightening and lift. I recommend getting a formal evaluation with a cosmetic dermatologist. You may be a candidate for neck/face lifting in combination with volume or other skin tightening treatments . Best, Dr. Emer

Answer: Sagging jowls and smile lines in a 24 year old Sagging jowls and smile lines in a 24 year old can be treated with fillers, such as Juvederm and Restylane. Some may refer to such procedures as a liquid lift or a non-surgical facelift. Results are temporary and last several months. A lower facelift or mini lift helps to lift sagging tissue and remove excess skin, but is uncommon in younger patients. There isn't a "best" treatment. If you haven't already, then speak with a facial plastic surgeon to review potential treatment options appropriate for you.Best,Dr. Chaboki
