I’m 45, 5’3 and 120lbs. Feel pretty fit and cute until I see my lower face. I’ve always had a round, flat face and with fillers I feel like it’s even fatter. They have now worn off and I’m wondering what to do now. Dr had recommended fillers last time and said I wasn’t ready for facelift. Although I don’t necessarily want to have to get surgery - I also want to prevent the aging and fix it as much as possible with best bang for my buck and money is not really a problem- recommendations??

Answer: Surgery to improve jowls Facelift and neck lift surgery does a wonderful job targeting the lower face and neck for reversible signs of aging. Some of these signs are present in your photographs. Delaying surgery as long as possible is always a good idea, however it sounds as though you are ready for more definitive treatment than can be offered with non surgical modalities.

Answer: Mini lift with vertical SMAS plication would be an excellent option. In order to smooth your jowl, and straighten your jawline, the fascia layer of your face, the SMAS, would need to be elevated in a vertical fashion, to elevate the jowl off of your jawline and efface it. This could be done through a mini facelift. A simple skin lift would likely not have long lasting results as the skin is not a support structure. It is a covering. Asking that skin to be a support structure leads to early recurrence of the jowls. Best wishes.
