I’m a 31-year-old female who has spent a significant amount of time driving with unprotected sun exposure, mostly on the left side of my face through the window. My upper and lower left cheek is visibly more saggy and deflated looking than the right side, which remains a bit fuller. I’ve been wearing daily sunscreen for about 3 years now since discovering how important it is to prevent skin aging. I’m wondering what treatments or procedures would most effectively address these issues. Thanks!
Answer: What procedure or treatment would be most effective for addressing my sagging cheeks? Greetings @kslaw55, thanks for your question and showing your pictures! A mini facelift can help to lift and tighten sagging skin on the face, typically targeting the lower half of the face and neck. While mini facelifts are often used to correct signs of aging such as jowls, wrinkles, and sagging skin, they are not typically recommended If skin looks youthful. It is very possible to improve the skin elasticity and define the edges of the face or mandibular line with a nonsurgical treatment like Ultherapy. This may be a non-surgical alternative. It is important to consult one or several board certified plastic surgeon for more information and recommendations. Best wishes!

Answer: Mini lift or hemostatic net Hi from Istanbul, thanks for this question. A mini facelift is effective for patients like you, who have sagging in the jowl area without significant neck sagging. This procedure involves an incision in front of the ear to lift the SMAS tissue, reducing the sagging and providing long-lasting results. I recommend this approach.

Answer: Mini facelift A mini facelift will correct the cheek ptosis and jowl fullness you see on the sides of your mouth. This can be done with a short scar so that scarring is minimal.

Answer: Skin Rejuvination Thank you for your question! You might be a candidate for a non-invasive procedure called Thermage that can tighten skin and stimulate your body to make healthier collagen—the building block that provides structure to your skin. The procedure uses radiofrequency technology called ThermaCool® that has been clinically proven to tighten and lift skin. Fast and easy, Thermage requires no downtime from normal activities. A combination of Thermage and non-ablative lasers can be a powerful nonsurgical treatment to help tighten and smooth skin all over the body. My office also has an innovative skin treatment which uses a combination of microdermabrasion and various laser treatments to help improve skin quality and appearance. I have also created skincare products that scientifically help improve quality of your skin. I suggest making an appointment with a board-certified plastic surgeon to discuss your options in more detail!
