I need some guidance on choosing to do a Y LIFT first, and then a cheek/eye lift, perhaps next year —any suggestions? (Photos)

For unique cases where a variety of modalities could be used to treat the condition, I would suggest an in-person or virtual consultation to develop a custom and effective treatment plan. It is difficult to precisely define the best option without collecting the same information. I suggest reaching out to an expert for a consultation with surgical and non-surgical methods to get a comprehensive option. Best, Dr. Emer.

Hi and thank you for your question! I always recommend a whole-face holistic approach for best results which combines filler treatments at various areas. Based on your pictures (and while an in-person examination is still required), you can see good improvements by filler treatments in your temples, under the eyes and the area between under the eyes and cheeks, marionette lines and jowls as well as jawline contouring for a more defined jawline. These treatments can generally be done within 1-2 visit and and you can do touch ups/refills as needed in the years to come. I hope it helps and good luck!

Thanks for your question and the pictures. Based on your concerns, you would benefit from more definition and lifting of your jawline, for which a lower face Y-lift would be an excellent option. A Y-Lift uses the principle of structural volumization at the leading edges of the face, creating a beautiful lift and contour without over-volumizing or giving an unnatural result, provided that it is performed by an experienced certified physician. Another good option for you would be the Silhouette Instalift threads which are made of PLLA cones which build collagen and give you a lift which will last for about 2 years. AN in person consultation, would be the best option to see which would be a better option for you.

Hope that helps.
Best,

Hi and thanks for your questions and photos. You have a very youthful appearance but are developing very early skin laxity. Fillers are a great temporary solution that can add volume back to the midface (cheeks and under eye region) that can give the face the illusion of being lifted. I generally caution women against placing too much filler in the lower third of the face (i.e. along the jawline) because this tends to create a broad, masculine appearance that most women do not want. If you're seeking something more definitive, I'd suggest considering a mini-lift. This is a surgical procedure that is tailored to address the excess skin laxity and at the same time can rejuvenate the cheeks, nasolabial folds and jawline. Temporary solutions like fillers, fat and skin tightening are OK in the short term but will fall short of being able to deliver a really durable natural result. I'd suggest scheduling a consultation with a surgeon who specializes in facial rejuvenation. Best of luck!

Thanks for sharing the photos. There are many options for nonsurgical facelift, especially if you do not want surgery. Its better to let your face settle before doing more. Often times, many patients will select a procedure then select a doctor just because it was listed on the website. Y Lift is an amazing procedure, but you have to select a trained and certified Plastic Surgeon. Y Lift when performed properly cannot be overdone. Many patients are very happy with their lasting results. Make sure to research the doctor. Always select a board certified Plastic Surgeon who is trained and certified. Good luck

Hello thanks for sharing your pictures with us. During the valuation of the face, i normally split in 3 areas, upper, mid and lower face. The most common treated areas per zone are:Upper face: forehead wrinkles, frown lines, templesMid face: tear through, mid and lateral cheeks, nose.Lower face: Lips, lip lines, chin, jawline and neck.I will recommend compare the changes from one year to another to have an idea of the first areas to treat. Every case is different and every side of the face is different too. You must go with an expert to get valuated in person to have the best plan customized for your personal needs. Best luck.Dr Luis M Salazar /// Aesthetic Solutions 

Thank you for the photograph in series-this is most helpful. Your face is very youthful and I would recommend that -'less is more'. The tear trough areas and the right cheek are the main areas which I would recommend for treatment. This would balance up your face well and hopefully give you the desired result. Using excellent skin care and sun protection are a key for long term skin care.

Based on the most recent photos, I believe you could benefit from filler treatment to the cheeks, tear troughs, jawline, marionette lines and corners of mouth. 

I think you're absolutely correct in allowing your face to settle after you have completed all of your dental implants. I believe that the Y Lift that you had done was a bit overdone creating cheeks that are out of proportion to the rest of your face. There is a great deal of hallowness in the lower eyelid and periorbital area, as well as you're lacking a well-defined mandibular angle. I think the best way to restore the youthful and natural appearance of your face would be with the use of fat grafting. Fat grafting should provide you with permanent, yet natural appearing results. Find a plastic surgeon who is a fat grafting expert. In the hands of an expert, the results appear to be subtle yet very positive. I hope this helps and good luck from the York City

Dear PA,You actually have really nice volume in your mid face.Treatments to balance the lower face and jawline with be nice. Treating the Jowels would also be a nice enhancement.You may consider internal skin tightening with jplasma/ Renuvion, without the need for excessive fillers and threads, to define the jawline and minimize jowling.Best.
