Would a lip lift revision and cheek implants help me achieve a more balanced look? (photos)

jacksmom500Mar 3, 2024
I’ll be 45 this year and think I have pretty amazing skin. A few things bugging me: mid face volume, my right side is jowlier/droopier than the left. And my lift lift I had 7 years ago looks like it needs to be redone. Big thing to know is I have/had Graves’ Disease and have been in remission for over a year. Am I a candidate for another lift lift and maybe cheek implants? Not a fan of fillers after Graves’ ate them away overnight when it was active.

A lip lift does 4 things: shortens the distance between your nose and upper lip, increases the mucosa of the upper lip, increases the incisor show and pulls up the corners. Best Wishes, Gary Horndeski, M.D.

Hi, I like to make sure the filler is dissolved at least two weeks in advance. This allows for some of the swelling to be relieved, and will have a much more accurate anatomical vision of what your lip looks like. If this is not doable a weeks time maybe adequate

That is not likely but aging is definitely the reason for loss of lip volume, projection, thinning. Fillers and lip lift in selected patients would create nice improvement.
