I’m 36 and feel I have no definition in my lower face. I would like a tighter jawline, more defined cheeks and less noticeable nose to mouth lines. What can I do to look better?

Answer: The lower half of my face is saggy and has no definition. How can this be fixed? In person exam is essential. From the limited photos it appears that you may benefit from facelift/neck lift. I suggest that you seek an experienced Board Certified PS for in person evaluation

Answer: A Mini Facelift is usually the best option for sagging jowls/neck and most patients find it very worth it A mini facelift is a great option for many people. The recovery & downtime is very minimal. There are usually no drains, most people can go out the same day, you can shower the next day, there're no scars behind the ears and you can wear your hair up anytime and most patients take no pain medicine. There are never any guarantees of course with any procedure whether it is surgical or nonsurgical in nature. I'd recommend not getting into the mindset of thinking the jowls or neck skin will be 100% gone with a mini facelift or neck lift as this might lead to disappointment. It is always best to consider that an area will be improved and discuss how much with your plastic surgeon. Surgery is not for everyone. In today's day and age, there are many nonsurgical options to consider although surgery usually gets the most improvement specifically of the neck and jowls. I would recommend that you see a board-certified plastic surgeon in your area that is a member of both ASPS & ASAPS and performs a lot of mini facelifts and neck lifts but also offers all the nonsurgical options such as injectables and laser treatments. Go over your concerns with them and make sure above all, you walk out of there with several options and an idea of the pros and cons to each of them as well as realistic expectations.
