Best order of treatment of skin laxity and wrinkles in 20's? (photos)

Question

I'm on a journey to rescue my skin elasticity and correct asymmetry of my face. Lip filler has been my main saving grace with asymmetry. I recently got a Botox brow lift and the practitioner suggested forehead Botox as I am developing wrinkles in my forehead. I have been using retinoids and seeing very little improvement. I am developing jowls / loose skin on my jawline, I am unsure if Botox, threads or lasers would be best to help with this laxity? I want to restore my skin as much as possible

Hello Luminous,

I understand you have concerns about your appearance, and that you are pleased with the Botox and fillers you have had so far.

At rest you have no forehead lines, and so there is no rush for you to start with Botox to your forehead.  You have the option to spend your time and energy and dollars in other options for now.

You mention dissatisfaction with your jawline.  In your age group, facial contouring with filler can be a powerful treatment to address your concerns.   This needs to be done judiciously by an experienced injector who can show you many before and after photos before you decide to go ahead.  Without seeing your oblique and lateral views, I can't advise more details about specific treatment for you, however, treating the midface can be very beneficial in your age group in people with your concerns.

I don't believe threading or lasers will be powerful enough for you to find the change you are looking for.

All the best to you,
