Which procedure would be best for correcting damage from previous anti aging device procedures? (photo)

Question

I tried a few facial devices for anti aging and made my skin worse. Especially on one side of my face. How do i fix this? Facial contouring, lipo, face lift?

Michelle Lee, MD · Answer

Hi there! Unfortunately, we see this very often. What often happens is that some devices are actually damaging the skin and melting the fat underneath, leading to premature aging, sagging or uneven contours. We have treated patients with facial fat grafting and they were very happy with the correction. You may also consider Sofwave to thicken and tighten the skin. Hope this helps!

In person exam is essential as well as review of standard photos- all views . It's difficult to render opinion based on a posted photo- as it is not clear

Thank you for your photo. To definitively diagnose what’s going on, an in person physical examination would be needed. That said, it appears from your photo that there’s been some volume loss along your left jaw line where you circled it. Some of the skin tightening/radio frequency devices, have side effects of loss of some fat underneath the skin. The simplest, least invasive option to try to begin with would be some fillers placed into the area to see if you could re-volumize that area to improve the contour. Another option would be to do some careful fat grafting, although this would require an operation to harvest the fat and would not be as predictable, nor reliable with its results as the off the shelf fillers. As your jawline and facial contour already look excellent, I don’t believe a facelift would benefit you. Have a detailed consultation with a plastic surgeon. Best wishes.

Thank you for your query. I would recommend a careful injection with autologous fat. Please find an experienced Board certified Plastic surgeon who can examine you and help you with your concerns. All the best!

Without in person evaluation it would be difficult to find the best answer for you; a consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon with expertise in facial rejuvenation. Is recommended. Good luck.
