36 years old - My mid face is starting to drop what can I do to improve it?

Question

Hello I’m 36 years old. My upper cheeks are getting flat. I’m noticing a significant increase in my vertical lower eyelids, festoons (mid face groove), and nasolabial fold. How can I improve them permanently?

Hello, thank you for asking your question. There are many options to improve skin laxity and early signs of aging, but it sounds like you want a more long-term solution. Injections like RHA fillers and Juvederm provide great results but require regular maintenance. Surgical procedures will give you long-term results that don't require repeat appointments. Cheek augmentation may be a good option for you, specifically cheek implants. This procedure provides a strong cheekbone and a more awake appearance in the midface. A mini facelift may be another option that can address signs of aging like skin laxity, facial creases, and dropping tissue in the face. A skilled and experienced board-certified facial plastic surgeon can provide a thorough assessment of your features and needs and discuss a personalized plan to help you meet all your cosmetic goals.

HiPictures are generally very useful in these scenarios. Generally speaking, festoons are really hard to fix. You could consider facial fat grafting for improvement in your overall contour. However, it is hard to give definitive suggestions without pictures

Hello, it is impossible to really give you good answers without photographs so I would suggest you resend your question with some photos. It is possible that a combination of fillers and Botox or facial implants maybe options but again photos are absolutely necessary.
