Hello! I am a 59 yr old woman with worsening jowls. Last year I had Accutite/morpheus with absolutely no improvement (staff concurred). I have scheduled a mini facelift but was astonished to hear from the surgeon that the effects are unlikely to last beyond 2 yrs ("maybe three"). Everything I have read here indicates a longer duration of 5-10 years. Can I please have some feedback about what is a reasonable expectation?

Answer: Need to come in to consult 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.

Answer: Minifacelift vs. Lower face and neck lift... Based on the photos, your most ideal procedure would be to have a deep plane facelift with necklift together. This procedure will give you a better and longer lasting result (10 years or more). A mini facelift can be done with a nice improvement in the jawline, but not the neck. If performed properly you can still get 5 years or more out of it. Be sure to see a facial specialist for consultation.

Answer: Face lift longevity In your age and with very mild signs of aging, patient should expect duration of 10-12 years, if not longer. Based on this photo, you would achieve the best and longest lasting result with a SMAS based lower face/neck lift. In person consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon with experience in facial rejuvenation or a teleconference would give you better and more accurate information. Good luck.
