I would like a surgery or treatment to eliminate the marionette lines and nasolabial folds. What is the current, best, most effective way to do this? I'm open to facelift, cheek implant or augmentation, mid facelift, lower face lift, or fillers / laser. If suggesting surgery, could you please specify where the scars/incisions will be & the exact name of the surgery so I can research it? age 46.

Answer: Ultimate BEST way to correct the #marionettes and #nasolabial folds? #facelift #fatgrafting #fillers Your question is a common one asked by my patients too.Best way is to address the many components, with a facelift and an extension into the temporal area (so a low and mid-face facelift), high-SMAS lift, and fat grafting to both NLF and the marionettes lines. I would need to see your forehead entirely to see if the composite facelift would not be indicated (adding the browlift to the procedure).You may also still need a smaller amount of HA fillers such as restylane and juvederm over time to maintain the results.

Answer: Faceless generally do an excellent job with the marionette line but the nasolabial fold will reemerge over time. The development of a marionette line is passive in that is generated by the dissent of soft tissue not facial expression. Nasolabial fold is generated by facial expression and will reemerge in time after a facelift because of the active function in the area. When they do occur fillers do a nice job of solving the problem.

Answer: Facial Rejuvenation Hello,Given your significant mid face volume loss, I would actually opt for a combined malar/submalar implant. I would also overdraft with fat in the mid face, nasolabial fold, and marionette lines. Finally, I would perform a face and neck lift to redrape lower face, jawline, and neck.Best of luck!
