Am I a candidate for a facelift at 35 after developing skin laxity and sagging? (Photo)

R
Randy3241Oct 25, 2018

Had narrow tight face before. Was overfilled with cheek fillers. Hyaluronidase injected all over cheeks including where no filler present. After 2 weeks developed sagging skin and heaviness around mouth. Skin no longer tight and elastic. Am I a candidate for some type of face lifting despite my young age? Completely devastated at how fillers and hyaluronidase ruined my face.

The time of the surgery shouldn't effect the result of the surgery, it is the surgeon's responsibility to make sure that all surgeries are thoroughly planned and fitted into their scheduled well in order to give the best possible results no matter what the start time is.

There is not a standard incision for a male facelift.  There are other factors to consider, such as beard pattern, the vector of tissues and skin repositioning, etc.  Seek out an experienced and talented facelift surgeon with special expertise in male facelifts. Only an in person evaluation ca...

A Facelift should not have any effect on your dimples or your smile.  Make sure that you see a board certified facial plastic surgeon or plastic surgeon who has performed a lot of facelifts and highlights this procedure in his/her practice.  Good luck!

In my opinion, any TMJ issue should not develop as a result of a facelift, whether it is asymmetric or not.  In a facelift procedure, the skin and tissue just under the skin are manipulated, but this should not affect or cause TMJ problems because the joint is much deeper.
