Lower cheeks or face sagging? 30 years old any help or suggestions what I can go get done? (Photos)

Question

On the side where i'm pulling my skin towards the back of my ear you can see my jaw structure, BUT on the other side my skin looks droopy. I previously got TMJ Jaw Botox for the past two years and i noticed that area starting to look like that after my Jaw started reducing in size. Someone recommended Kybella in that area because she thinks my cheek definition is good, but I can't find anything on injecting Kybella in there.. How can I REMOVE that area that I am pointing to in the picture?

Kybella is barely acceptable under the chin.  Do not let some idiot destroy your face by injecting your cheeks with this product that causes unpredictable fat resorption from inflammation.  You have a very subtle issue with so much to loose if you talk yourself into a disastrous procedure.  Perish the though that you need a facelift.  If you were a patient of mine, I would explore if you have had hyaluronic acid fillers in your cheeks.  You have a bit of weakness in the depressor anguli oris area (at and below the corner of the mouth).  Volume here could be helpful.  However, it is essential to have the smallest volume in the face that gets the job done.  Whatever you do out there, please be careful.  Unfornunately, someone will do the thing you are asking for even if it is not the right thing.

"I suggest reaching out to an expert for a formal consultation. I like to recommend my patients start a combination of facial rejuvenation treatments.

1) Skincare with products and microneedling/PRP
2) PDT Light Therapy a few times per month with growth factors
3) Laser treatments like Clear + Brilliant regularly and others (Fraxel, Moxi, Viva, CO2, Erbium, Halo) a few times per year
4) Sculptra injections a few times per year for collagen production with fillers like Juvederm, Restylane, Belotero, Radiesse, and/or Bellafill
5) Thermage/Ultherapy for yearly skin tightening with or without PDO or cone-based Instalift threads for lifting
6) Botox every 2 to 3 months to stop movement lines and prevent lines at rest

Best, Dr. Emer."

A mini liquid lift, combining Voluma in the cheek to lift and Vollure in the mouth corner crease to polish will remove that shadow and give you a naturally lifted look.Good luck!

Jowling is a common problem with aging and is best treated with facelift in an older patient. In your case, I would recommend "thread-lifting" procedure on the right side. The treatment requires minimal downtime and can provide a "lift" the side that sags. Other options include subdermal heating with new technologies such as Facetite, Profound oe Ultherapy. Good luck

Dear Latinchick213,it is hard to tell for sure without an examination. I would suggest you to consult a board-certified plastic surgeon. Only after a thorough examination you will get more information and recommendations.Daniel Barrett, MD, MHA, MS
