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

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.

Thank you for your question.  I understand your concerns.  Getting a facelift can be a very stressful experience and it is only natural to expect the results to be immediately obvious.  However, one has to remember that there is quite a bit of healing happening after a facelift and this heal...

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.

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!

Is that possible to develop a TMJ on one side of the jaw after an asymmetric facelift?

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.
