What can be done to make my face appear younger? (Photo)

What stands out in the image is relatively youthful skin with mild under-eye and midface shadowing and early softness around the lower face; a photo is limited, so an in-person exam may change the plan. For a younger but natural look, the first step is usually to identify whether the concern is skin quality, volume loss, facial balance, or true laxity.

At this stage, non-surgical options such as consistent skin care, sun protection, carefully placed neuromodulator, conservative filler or fat grafting, and sometimes laser or energy-based treatments may be more appropriate than a facelift. A facelift is usually considered when there is clear jowling, neck laxity, or deeper tissue descent rather than just wanting the face to look fresher.

Unfortunately, it is difficult to answer your question without having a formal discussion with you of your specific surgical goals and performing a formal physical exam. There is limited information that can be gained from the photo you have provided- I would need to have more views and higher resolution photos to even have a tentative discussion about the presence/absence of wrinkles and other details of your current face/neck which would influence potential treatment options. I would urge you to arrange a formal consultation with one or multiple plastic surgeons to thoroughly discuss your surgical goals, be formally examined, learn about all your options (including nonsurgical), and decide on the best procedure(s) for your specific case. I hope this helps! . Best, Dr. Donald Groves Plastic Surgeon

Based on your photos, IMO, you would benefit from an endoscopic mid-face lift to highlight your cheek bones, shorten you face, « almond-eyes » your eyes and raise the tail of your eyebrows. You would also benefit from a 3D upper lip lift and perhaps a lower V-Y that can only be ascertained from an in person consult.

I hope this helps,
best of luck !

Thanks for your question! Personally, I don't think there is anything you "need" to do. The best thing for someone like you is good skin care. That will help maintain your youthfulness. Good luck!

Your face looks nice now, but you could do micro-needling with radiofrequency to help keep tight and stimulate new collagen production in your skin.
