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

Question

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?

It sounds like you may benefit from a combination of different procedures to address the various concerns you have mentioned. Without a proper consultation and evaluation, it's hard to make a definitive recommendation. However, here are some common surgical options that may be suitable for your situation:

-Facelift: A facelift is a surgical procedure that can address sagging skin, jowls, and other signs of aging in the lower face and neck area. The procedure involves tightening the underlying facial muscles, removing excess skin, and re-draping the skin for a smoother, more youthful appearance. (Here photos of a patient who got hers in her early 30’)

-Brow lift: A brow lift, also known as a forehead lift, can address sagging brows and forehead wrinkles. This procedure involves lifting the brow and forehead skin to improve the appearance of wrinkles and furrows.
Blepharoplasty: A blepharoplasty, or eyelid surgery, can address sagging eyelids, excess skin, and puffiness in the eye area. The procedure involves removing or repositioning the skin and fat around the eyes to improve their appearance.

-Fat transfer: Fat transfer involves removing fat from one area of the body, typically the abdomen or thighs, and transferring it to the face to restore lost volume and improve facial contours. This procedure can be performed in combination with other procedures to achieve a more comprehensive rejuvenation.

Again, it's essential to consult with a board-certified plastic surgeon or dermatologist who can assess your individual needs and recommend the most appropriate treatment plan for you. They may recommend a combination of procedures or alternative treatments based on your unique situation and desired outcomes.

I hope this helps,
best of luck !
