I had facetite on my jowls over 2 years ago. I was left with these folds. Had a lower face and neck lift 1 1/2 years ago specifically asking to addresss the folds. Did not work. I've always thought maybe too much fat was removed with facetite? Pic 1 after facetite before lift. Pic 2 right after surgery. Pic 3 current.

Answer: Need for facelift and fat grafting Your immediate post op photo shows improvement around your mouth secondary to swelling. I am certain that you are exhausted from the time and expense of surgical and minimally invasive procedures that did not deliver. In the short term I would suggest filler to the marionette lines that are so troublesome along with Botox to the DAO. A deep plane facelift with fat grafting at the time of your initial face and neck lift along with peri oral laser resurfacing would have addressed the midface, lower face, and neck to your satisfaction.

Answer: Age 67, had Facetite, lower face and neck lift. Still have folds - Suggestions? Thank you for your question and photos. Full frontal and lateral face photos would've been helpful. I can address your lower face only, although there are hints that your upper face would need rejuvenation as well. You have those folds because your mandibular ligaments were not released by your surgeon. These are fixed fixation points of the face and you cannot improve them or diminish them if these strong ligaments and skin is released. This is a fact. Your upper lip is long and would benefit from an upper lip lift. This is very rejuvenating for the perioral area and lower face. You might need some periorbital fat grafting with a secondary face/neck lift.
