Question

I am 21 years old. A couple of years ago i lost alot of weight wich left me with loose skin around my face. Everybody treats me like i am in my 30s. People never belive i am 21 and i pray everyday that nobody at work asks about my age. It has destroyed my cofidense, happines and life. I am getting desperate for a solution. I am intressted in a lighter (shortscar, mini) facelift. Am i a candidate?

FaceTite can internally tighten the skin in the lower face and neck. After all the skin has been heated and contracted, we shape the neck with liposuction to give definition and remove stubborn pockets of fat. In one quick treatment, we can tighten skin, remove fat, and contour the lower face, jawline, and jowls with only a weekend of downtime.​  Keep in mind that combination approaches will give you a more significant improvement as opposed to a single procedure. I recommend getting a consultation with a board-certified cosmetic dermatologist and facial sculpting expert. Best, Dr. Emer

A facelift of some type is common  #cosmeticsurgery procedure after weight loss at any age“Mini Facelift” is a generalized “catch all” term that can mean different things depending on the doctor you ask. This often makes the real definition difficult for a patient to pin down. It typically only addresses the skin. The, LiteLift&trade;, however, addresses the deeper muscle layer providing the patient with a thorough, natural, long lasting result.How does the LiteLift&trade; differ from a mini facelift?The LiteLift&trade; provides:

less
scaring (short scar technique)

a
quicker recovery

no need
for general anesthesia

a more
natural look (pull is vertical in direction)

Not everyone requires a traditional facelift to
provide beautiful, long lasting results. The LiteLift&trade; is a minimally invasive
option that addresses aging of the face and neck. Patients are offered a
personalized experience from their first consultation, through recovery and on.

Who are the best
candidates?

Any healthy individual wishing to address the signs of
laxity oraging in the lower face and neck. Anyone interested in a refreshed
look. This can be from weight loss, genetics and family traits, or aging.

Anonymous173 Thank you for the picture and question.  A complete consultation is necessary to determine your best course of action.  Congratulations on your weight loss.  From your one picture, it appears that sculpting around your chin and neck may improve your youthful contours.  A precision laser treatment can help tighten the skin and reduce the submental fat.  Kybella can also be used for the submental area with skin tightening using the venus system.  You have many oprions that need to be discussed in person

Congratulations on your weight loss. An in person consultation would n=be needed to do a facial exam and see what options really would help in your case.

Congratulations on your recent weight loss. A mini-facelift may be an option to address excess skin around the neck area as well as improve the fullness remaining in the neck.
