I am 37 years old. My skin on my face appears tight when I am looking straight ahead. However, when I look downward, the skin sags and loses all elasticity and these deep wrinkles appear in my lower face and neck. Would a face-lift correct this?

Answer: Face lift or chin implant Unfortunately, you have not provided a lateral view. A face lift can be used to pull the neck skin up. Another alternative would be a chin implant to take in some of the slack skin as well. It would be a less invasive procedure. Best Wishes, Gary Horndeski, M.D.

Answer: Dynamic lines it is common to have distortion while in extreme positions such as having the neck hyperflexed. A face/neck lift is meant to address volume loss, tissue descent, and laxity of the the skin of the face and neck. As part of the examination, and in combination with photos, a full assessment of the degree of skin laxity can be evaluated. If there are no signs of jowling, volume loss or significant tissue descent, early laxity can often be addressed with less invasive procedures such as radiofrequency skin tightening before considering a face and neck lift. However, this can only be fully determined based on an exam at the time of consultation.
