Hi, I've been losing more weight, very slowly but sensibly. I try not to be vain about it but being really healthy isn't paying off on my looks! I would like more opinions; can anything be done to improve it's appearance? I'm not sure if the photo shows, I almost have two bulges (that don't fall below the jaw so I guess not technically a Jowl) next to my mouth, if I down turn my mouth they are obvious. I'm not rich and wonder if I should just wait a few years before doing something drastic.... Any ideas?

Answer: Lower facelift. Thanks for posting your questions and photo. In my opinion it looks like you do have excess skin from weight loss and normal aging. It also appears you may have excess buccal fat. An exam in person is required to make a definitive diagnosis and treatment plan. That said I would be inclined to say a lower facelift and possible buccal fat reduction would be recommended. Please consult with a few board certified and experienced surgeons.

Answer: Jowls from losing weight I congratulate you on your weight loss. It is always healthier to maintain a good weight. A consequence of this is droopy skin on the face, resulting in jowls and loose neck skin. A facelift would be a great option to correct this. Just based on your photo, you appear to have good bone structure which would make a facelift result look great. Tightening the muscle under the skin, known as the SMAS, will help redefine your cheeks. Consult with a board certified plastic surgeon to discuss your options. I wish you the best.
