Is 49-year-old woman too young for a Face-lift?

0
0724designerJul 24, 2015

I’m 49-year-old woman and so frustrated with my drooped, hooded eye lids, lots of wrinkles on my forehead, severe nasolabial folds and have lost the elasticity in my face. I recently see one of customers looked very young for her age after she had gotten a face-lift done by Dr. Peter Lee who is famous for face lift surgery. I’m wondering if the effects of a face-life lasts a lifetime. I would like to hear advice from experts. Thank you.

Hi & thanks for your question.  If these issues are indeed from broken capillaries, a vascular laser or IPL can help to diminish or eliminate them.  Speak to your surgeon about this option.Best,

Unfortunately there is no quick fix for Bell’s palsy. After taking the initial course of antiviral and steroid medication, your body needs time to heal on its own. I recommend scheduling an appointment with a facial nerve specialist to discuss your options. Depending on how long ago you were d...

Raffy Karamanoukian, MD, FACS

Plastic surgery scars require attention after surgery so that they remain cosmetically-appealing and barely noticeable. In our office, we use a protocol for scars that minimizes their activity in the 6-8 weeks after surgery. If you have late plastic surgery scars, you may also require laser and...

If your cheekbones and upper face are wide and prominent, while your lower face appears smaller, recessed, or narrow, it can create a top-heavy appearance that lacks balance and masculinity. This type of facial disharmony is quite common and can significantly affect how one feels about their...
