Reduce lower/mid face lift? (Photo)

Luminous744398Sep 19, 2022
As I get older my lower face seems to get wider and wider. It used to be relatively V shaped. I'm quite slim at 5'9 and a 28" waist. I have had Botox in the masseters for around a year and a half, every three months. To be honest, I don't think it has much effect. My masseters still move freely despite many units. I think I'm relatively immune to Botox? Any advice on how to reduce face width? I've included a photoshopped picture to showcase desired outcome. Thanks.

I think that nonsurgical modalities are a great tool for the right patient. Filler adds volume. If you are worried about sag and poor contour I do not think that adding volume will make a great difference. Nonsurgical modalities long term are more expensive and require maintenance. For the right...

From the photos, the Advanced MiniLift under local would give such great results and is so easy to undergo. It fixes the jawline and neck quick and safely. Never go under general if you can help it. Cost is on special currently for just $15,000 and is so worth it. Also you need the skin...

Based on the photos shown, you have typical signs of an aging lower face and neck. A neck-lift alone will not make you happy. A deep plane facelift allows for lifting the SMAS and skin in a composite fashion, release of facial ligaments, and tightening of the platysma muscle to improve the...

Thank you for your question and sharing your photographs. You have obviously explored many avenues to achieve your desired changes with nonsurgical treatments. It seems unlikely that further efforts along these lines would be more successful. A short scar deep plane facelift is more likely to...
