Can't get any doctors to do lower facelift: Say not enough skin. True? (Photos)

Dear rdinca,  Thanks for submitting your pictures . The jawls are the reason for your square appearing face. It is not a skin problem, eventhough by pulling the skin flaps more vertically it will improve your appearance. Elevating the fatty jawls will give you your desired look. All that can be achieved with MACS face lift technique . Consult with board certified plastic surgeons who are familiar and experienced with the MACS lift technique. Check their before and after pictures to make sure that they are able to deliver to you your goal.                 Best of luck,                                     Dr Widder

The photographs are not complete enough for a formal opinion. However, if three surgeons advise you against a procedure it probably means you are expecting more than operation can deliver.

Age is not the most important factor in determining if a patient is ready for a facelift or neck lift, skin laxity is. In general younger patients have better results with facelifts as their skin is more elastic. I can’t tell from your photos what procedure would be ideal to recreate the heart shaped face you desire, but I cannot rule a face lift. Other possible options are a midface lift or fat grafting which I tend do more often in younger patients.

Good luck, I hope this helps you.
