I live in the Charlotte area. Several consults, all different. What do I really need? My neck and under eyes bother me (Photo)

Hello,
Thank you for your question. Based on your photos, a necklift will give you the best result for your neck. Regarding your eyes, a lower blepharoplasty with possible muscle resuspension may be necessary pending an in-person exam. This can be done wide awake using local anesthesia and oral medications to help you relax. Patients do incredibly well with this and it avoids the side effects of general anesthesia.

Thanks for your question! Although there is some soft tissue laxity and excess that will improve with blepharoplasty and facelift, in my opinion the volume loss is what is contributing significantly to an aged appearance. If the hollowing in the cheekbone area, lips, and other areas is not addressed, you would be missing an opportunity to restore youthful volume. I am in the Charlotte area and would look forward to going into more detail for you with a consult.

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.

Hello, hope you are well. You may want to consider upper and lower blepharoplasty to address the aging eyelids, and facelift, neck lift, and lip lift to address soft tissue laxity of the lower 2/3rds of the face and neck. Finally, there are fine rhytids (wrinkles), especially around your mouth that can be treated with laser resurfacing. I am not located in Charlotte, but our office offers virtual consultations and as a destination practice, The Spiegel Center is experienced in working with patients travelling from out-of-state and internationally. Cheers!
Best,Dr. Tower

You seem to be good candidate for facial rejuvenation. This can be accomplushed through a series of procedures that include face/neck lift, upper and lower eyelid surgery, facial fat grafts. These procedures can be done all in the same setting or can be divided and done based on your preference and your surgeon's suggestion. In person cponsultation or a teleconference with a board certified plastic surgeon with good reputatition in facial rejuvenation, is recommended. Good luck.
