Age 30, am I ready for a MACS or mini face lift? (Photos)

Question

I am fed up of my pre-mature jowls. I have tried every non-surgical treatment to no avail (thread lift, morpheus, hifu, filler). I know I am young at 30 this year but feel ready to find a more impactful solution after many unsuccessful non-surgical treatments. I am wondering if a MACS lift or mini lift would be suitable? I would like to address my jowls and if possible midface. Any suggestions welcome, many thanks.

There is no reason you would get a facelift, or mini facelift.  Please understand that surgeries often causes unintended harm. You are beautiful, please appreciate that. I would actually recommend removing all of your facial filler.

In our practice, we perform a non-surgical face lift / skin resurfacing treatment using Renuvion Helium Plasma Radiofrequency. ​To get the most improvement with skin tightening, we combine Renuvion (formerly J-Plasma) with lasers (Fraxel, Clear + Brilliant, CO2), microneedling/PRP, Ultherapy and InMode FaceTite. I suggest getting a formal evaluation with a cosmetic dermatologist. Best, Dr. Emer​​​​

Hello, and thank you for your question. Based on these images, your aging concerns are relatively minor, and you won’t likely need an aggressive procedure such as a facelift or mini facelift. I believe you may benefit from the right combination of non-surgical or minimally-invasive procedures, such as laser and energy devices, including RF microneedling (Profound RF). A combination of injectables can also give you a non-surgical facelift. You may also consider a PDO thread lift –a non-surgical treatment that uses dissolvable sutures to lift tissue and tighten skin for a noticeably younger appearance.

I highly recommend scheduling an in-person consultation with a reputable board-certified facial plastic surgeon. These experts are armed with a better knowledge of facial anatomy, as well as the most advanced facelift techniques that can achieve a more natural-looking appearance. During your consultation, your surgeon can assess your skin quality and facial profile, recommend the best procedure or combination of procedures, determine your eligibility for a mini facelift, and ensure the best possible outcome.

In spite of your young age, if this bothers you, it can be treated with a facelift. You've tried non surgical treatments, so surgery is your next option.

I would defiantly have a consultation with a Plastic Surgeon in your area that specializes in FaceTite by Inmode we have had great success with this device in our office. Helps to firm, tighten and reduces some fat in areas that need it with will help with Jowls. Liposuction may also help as well.

Maybe a mini FL/NL. But ony in person or virtusl consults would allow a determinaton if you are a candidate. Fees from $8,000+
