I would like to do something to lift my face. I've started a weight loss journey and as I shed the fat, I see more and more signs of aging. I am 36 and have always looked younger until I started to lose the weight. I'm only down 15lbs and really worried to lose the last 15. Should I wait on any procedures, or would it be smart to do it now?
Answer: Jowls I do not see much to be addressed on your face. Possibly reduction of jowls. Liposuction with small cannula would be my suggestion. Good luck.

Answer: Consider RF microneedling while you wait for surgery Thank you for your question and for the photos you provided. Since your skin and face can continue to change during a weight loss journey, it would be best to reach your goal weight before undergoing a surgical procedure. This would ensure the most optimal results without needing further augmentation to achieve them. In the meantime, you may benefit from RF microneedling treatments to increase your body’s collagen and improve your skin’s elasticity, quality, and texture. I recommend scheduling an in-person consultation with an experienced, board-certified facial plastic surgeon. They’ll be able to answer any questions you have and help you decide on the best treatment options for you.

Answer: Mini Facelift & Mini neck lift -- FaceTite RF for internal skin tightening + Neck Liposuction for definition/contouring 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

Answer: Facelift At your age your skin should have good enough elasticity so that it won’t sag when you lose the weight. You are a bit young for a facelift but it would improve the jowls you have.

Answer: 36 years old interested in tightening the face, should I reach my weight goal Yes indeed, it's always best to be at your ideal weight before undergoing any elective facial surgery including a facelift. At age 36, your skin tone should be acceptable and you should not need a facelift. You have a prominent pre-Jowl sulcus on both sides of your chin just in front of the your jowls. Consider a " pre-jowl" style chin implant to augment that area a which would help build out the depression in that area. You should not require a facelift at age 36. Chin implants Can be placed under local anesthesia as an outpatient procedure which takes about 30 minutes.
