I'm 40 and already have loose jowls. I would like a fresher cleaner look. What would you recommend?
Answer: Facelift versus fillers Sure, fillers may soften the jowls slightly, but this is not the best solution. Adding weight to the bottom of your face is a Band-Aid for the real problem which is the fact that the tissues have fallen. Fillers are a half measure which I would only entertain if you are set against surgery or do not have the financial means to do so. A mini facelift will allow that sagging tissue to be lifted back up to where it fell from, thereby restoring a heart-shaped looked your face. See a plastic surgeon or facial plastic surgeon. If you've see a "cosmetic Dr. " or "dermatologic surgeon " you will not be given the real surgical options, and may get sold on fillers when in fact they are not the best answer.Best of luck!Dr. SubbioBoard-Certified Plastic SurgeonNewtown Square/Philadelphia, PA

Answer: Minilift at age 40 In my experience, the only treatment that would give you significant (and lasting results) would be a lower facelift (or minilift). The muscles of the jawline should be tightened as well as the overlying skin. This would give you back your shape to your lower face and help make you appear more relaxed and less droopy/depressed. Many surgeons can perform this procedure in their office under local anesthesia. Please be advised to seek a surgeon who performs a few of these procedures every single month, on average.

Answer: Jowl Thank you for your question, Ebs1976. You are able to address sagging jowls via the Laser-Assisted Weekend Necklift and Kybella. Kybella is a non-invasive in-office treatment with a short recovery of little to no discomfort. The Laser-Assisted Weekend Necklift offers the same type of convenient recovery but is slightly more invasive to provide a more extensive improvement of the jowls. Please consult with a board certified facial plastic surgeon to determine the personalized treatment plan that is best for you.Best wishes,

Answer: Sagging Face -- Fillers/sculptra, Thermi, Thermage/Ultherapy/Venus Legacy, Viva Resurfacing There are many options but volume with fillers/fat/sculptra and skin tightening with ultherapy/thermage are the best options at younger ages to avoid surgery. Best, Dr. Emer.

Answer: A permanent solution Hi Ebs1976Great question! My Concept facelift would be a fabulous option.What makes the Concept™ Facelift so revolutionary is that is has the same results as traditional facelift methods but can have you back to work within days rather than months. If you are looking for a procedure that will flatter and rejuvenate you, without too stark a difference post operatively, then a Concept™ Facelift is for you.Do some research though and talk to a qualified and experienced surgeon whom you can build rapport and trust. They can also show you some before and after photo's and even perhaps, get past clients to talk to you.All the best with your journey and getting your desired results.
