29 years old. Rapid aging. What lift do you recommend? (Photo)

It looks like my malar fat pad has descended and I am beginning to form jowls which you can see as a bulge near the jawline. My right brow hasn't descended that much but my left brow (not pictured) has descended significantly and there is a lot of laxity in my eyelid skin. Not pictured is the convexity that developed in the submental area. All in all, my face has become very bottom-heavy taking on a thick trapezoidal shape. What type of lift (or lifts) do you recommend?

Thank you for sharing your questions and photos. This is a very common problem. It looks like there are some mild platysma muscle banding. This can often be treated in the office under local anesthesia using an incision under the chin. It appears you may have already had some central neck...

Hi, thanks for your question. Facial asymmetries are very common. While they may be more noticeable in some people, if we compare the left and right sides of our face (or body), we'd find that no two features are exactly alike.In your case, a brow lift and temporal lift performed on both...

This is a rather odd location for a bulge. Did they perform fat grafting? This can also be secondary to poor technique with bunching of the deeper tissues. It may be many things...this requires an in-person or digital physical exam. I would recommend finding A REAL PLASTIC SURGEON with...
