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.
Hello; You are young. Used on your face; such as Ultheraphy, HIFU devices; collapses due to this type of fat loss; why could it be. The easiest solution for that field; is using for Hyaluronic Acid Based Dermal Filler; is to fill. With fat; although filling is a more invasive procedure; it is a feasible solution. For this existing problem; Face Lift would be a very aggressive procedure.
A facelift is appropriate for this amount of facial aging. However it is important to note that loss of fat in the midface might not improve with facelift alone. It will likely need fillers or fat transfer to get the best result. Regards Dr. J
Yes, too much activity too soon after a facelift can cause problems. Exercise and sexual activity both raise your blood pressure and heart rate, which increases the risk of bleeding under the skin (hematoma) and can exacerbate swelling. While these may not cause a "bad" result, they can delay...
Dear Drifandri, thank you for your question! Typically, surgeons recommend waiting around 3 to 6 months after a facelift before undergoing additional procedures like liposuction and a breast lift. This time allows the initial swelling to resolve, incisions to heal, and tissues to stabilize,...
