I am a 33 yo woman. I am suddenly experiencing mild sagging on my lower face and marionettes. I had an appointment with a reputable doctor who decided not to use filler on me saying only surgery could correct that. He also advised on some non surgical/minimal surgical skin tightening procedures (Morpheus/Facetite) but I'm so scared of them as I keep reading they can cause fat loss (I am very skinny). Is it too early for a microlift ? I don't know what to do but I'm really obsessing about it.
Answer: Mini facelift You are too young to really see much difference from a facelift. You would see virtually no improvement. I’m not a big fan of injectables because they can cost a lot over time. Reconsider the facelift in about 10 years

Answer: Consider your options for revitalizing your appearance Thank you for your question and photos. You may benefit most from a combination of non-surgical treatment options to revitalize your appearance. Hyaluronic acid dermal fillers can be administered to reduce the appearance of marionette lines, while Kybella injections can submental fat below the chin to create a more contoured jawline. RF microneedling can also treat sagging skin without causing fat loss. This treatment uses a combination of microneedling and gentle radiofrequency heating to boost collagen production and refresh the skin from the inside out. I recommend scheduling an in-person consultation with an experienced, board-certified facial plastic surgeon. They will be able to answer any questions you have and determine the best treatment plan to help you achieve your aesthetic goals.

Answer: A mini facelift and neck lift may help you Hello from Istanbul! The degree of sagging is a better determinant than age when deciding on a facelift operation. Many patients do need facelifts in younger ages, especially due to sagging caused by extreme weight fluctuations. As for you, you may be a good candidate for a mini facelift and mini neck lift. Since you are quite young, you should keep in mind that you may need additional procedures in time and that all surgeries come with certain risks. Best of luck!

Answer: Laugh Lines / Nasolabial Folds - Fillers + Sculptra, Lasers like Fraxel/Clear + Brilliant, Radiofrequency, Peels, Skin Care I recommend fillers to soften the nasolabial folds themselves and also lift around the mouth and cheeks to build underlying anatomical support. In our practice we combine Sculptra with other fillers "layered" on top and lasers, skin tightening treatments such as Thermage, Fractora, and Renuvion (J Plasma), thread lifting, and peels to get the most conservative, natural look. I suggest seeing a facial sculpting expert for a formal consultation. Best, Dr. Emer

Answer: Chin support and skin tightening While I wouldn't say you're "too young" for a mini facelift necessarily, based on your photos you look like you could benefit from other treatments. One, your chin looks like it's a little behind its ideal position, so adding support there with either a chin implant, certain specific fillers, or fat grafting would help the marionettes and submental skin excess. Secondly, submental facetite/morpheus would likely be helpful--your concerns about fat loss are not unfounded, but they can be used in a way where that risk is minimized.
