Is lower facelift less effective when done with chin bone shaving due to the amount of swelling? (Photos)

Question

im scheduled to have FFS this summer, and this includes chin contouring by bone shaving method. My lower face has much laxity, jowls and underchin connent and make jawline very weak. My question is, would it be benefial to have a lower facelift at the same time as the chin bone shaving? I know with the chin contour there is a lot of swelling for some months after, and i worry that would affect the tightness and overall result of the lower facelift. Should i have the lift preformed after healing?

Bone reduction of the jaw can be done at the same time as a facelift. But based on your photos, you may have a better option with a submental liposuction with/without less invasive neck tightening technologies.

I may do more of this than anywhere in the world. We've gotten great success by shaping the jaw and using energy to perform skin shrinkage for people your age. That is, a combination of radiofrequncy necktite or facetite plus morpheus8.  It's amazing in combination.

Toby Mayer, MD · Answer

Facelift results will not be reduced if Chin reduction and facelift done together and done by a VERY EXPERIENCED FFS surgeon.
