I am 27 years old and my face is sagging significantly. I have developed jowls and deep under eye creases. My face is very asymmetrical and lacks definition. I would like a “snatched” youthful appearance. I am ashamed of how badly I am aging. I do not drink or smoke, I eat healthy and get exercise. I take very good care of my skin.
Answer: Addressing areas of concern You may be a good candidate for a facelift or a lower eyelid lift. You should have noticeable signs of aging, such as sagging jowls, skin laxity, or wrinkles. While some signs of aging can be addressed without having surgery, a facelift can help correct them long-term. The word “facelift” can make some people nervous, however the procedure involves lifting and tightening the skin and repositioning the underlying fat and muscle. Dr. Rankin will examine your face’s structure during your consultation to determine which procedure is right for you.

Answer: Augmentation of prominences The main things that you are noticing are likely due to the lack of bony support in key areas of your face. The first thing would be a chin that is set back, which could be augmented with an implant or sliding genioplasty. Secondly, your cheeks of a "negative vector" compared to your eyes, meaning they are slightly set back. Although cheek implants have largely fallen out of favor, this can typically be augmented with fat grafts or filer. These would be the foundational things to correct before pursuing other surgical procedures.

Answer: Jowl appearance in a young person Jowls form from the sagging of facial skin, muscles, and deeper tissues along the lower jawline and chin area. You are very young, with tight facial skin, and do not have jowls. However, I can see the changes that are bothering you compared to your 2020 photograph. From the front view, there is some loss of soft tissue between the chin and the cheek area along the jawline. Additionally, your chin is slightly recessed in profile, which doesn't help with these soft tissue changes.

Answer: Lower blepharoplasty, lip lift and chin implant A lower blepharoplasty can be done to treat the eye creases. You would also benefit from a lip lift. A lip lift does 4 things: shortens the distance between your nose and upper lip, increases the mucosa of the upper lip, increases the incisor show and pulls up the corners. You would also benefit from a chin implant. This will help the recessed chin and tighten the skin.
