Plz refer to my pics. I have noticed my lower face is sagging as well as my neck. I’ve lost a lot of definition. Using fillers is destroying my natural beauty , and I think the thread lift made it worse. Would a mini face / neck lift be suitable for me as a preventative to stop the sagging in its tracks? I prefer surgery. All the other things are a waste of money . Ultherapy melted away my fat and made it worse. Just want to make the right surgical choice.

Answer: Candidate for a facelift: Here's what you need to know Hello, and thank you for providing photos along with your question. Based on your photos and your preference for a surgical approach, you may be a candidate for a mini facelift. A mini facelift is a minimally-invasive surgical procedure that’s less aggressive than a traditional facelift or a neck lift with platysmaplasty. A mini facelift might be your best choice if you have early signs of aging, such as slight jowl formation and mild to moderate skin laxity. To determine your eligibility for any procedure, I recommend scheduling an in-person consultation with a reputable board-certified facial plastic surgeon. Specific techniques and steps for performing a mini lift can vary from surgeon to surgeon. Finding the most skilled, experienced facial plastic surgeon to perform your surgery can help you safely achieve your desired results. Facial plastic surgeons only perform procedures on the face, therefore, their knowledge of facial anatomy and refined techniques ensure you enjoy the best possible results from your procedure.

Answer: A Mini Facelift is a Great Option To Address Lower Face Sagging Thank you for your questions and pictures! To answer your question based on the pictures the you have provided, a mini facelift may be a great option for you! It will address the lower part of your face and yes, your face is going to look better than it would have without the surgery! There are never any guarantees of course with any procedure whether it is surgical or nonsurgical in nature. I'd recommend not getting into the mindset of thinking the jowls or neck skin will be 100% gone with a mini facelift or neck lift as this might lead to disappointment. It is always best to consider that an area will be much improved and discuss how much with your plastic surgeon. Surgery is not for everyone. In today's day and age, there are many nonsurgical options to consider although surgery usually gets the most improvement specifically of the neck and jowls. I would recommend that you see a board-certified plastic surgeon in your area that is a member of both ASPS & ASAPS and performs a lot of mini facelifts and neck lifts but also offers all the nonsurgical options such as injectables and laser treatments. Go over your concerns with them and make sure above all, you walk out of there with several options and an idea of the pros and cons to each of them as well as realistic expectations. I hope this helps. If it does, please take a moment to up vote this answer on the “respond” button on the top right. Have a great day.

Answer: Facelift The facelift will be no better than fillers or the thread lift. You’re too young for a facelift. Wait at least ten years
