24 y/o interested in laser, mini facelift, and fat transfer for anti-aging. Which order would deliver the best results? (photo)

Question

Hello. I’m 24, and next year I want to start fixing some signs of again I have on my face. Extra skin runs in my family, which also means saggy skin runs in my family. I’m not sure what I need or what order to get procedures in. I would like to start getting med spa treatments for collagen production and laser skin stuff for anti aging, but I also want to get a fat transfer under my eyes to fill in my tear trough. I also was wanting maybe a mini face lift. Which order should I do this in?

Thank you for your question and photo. While you don’t appear to be a candidate for surgical options at this time, there are several non-invasive treatments that can provide positive aesthetic results. Dermal filler can be administered to the tear trough to add volume and create a more refreshed and awake appearance. 
You may also be interested in RF microneedling treatments to increase the body’s natural collagen production while also improving the skin’s elasticity. The results from RF microneedling can last for many years in some patients, while dermal filler results may last for over a year. I recommend scheduling an in-person consultation with an experienced, board-certified facial plastic surgeon or injector who can determine the best treatment options for you.

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.

I would recommend removal of the fat pads causing the lower eyelid bulge and fat transfer to the tear trough.

You are certainly too young to have any of those procedures. Unfortunately you will easily find a surgeon to do those things if you’re willing to pay. You look find. Forget about plastic surgery if your face forat least ten years.
