I am desperately wanting a lower facelift and chin implant. Photo have poor lighting (sorry), but I think get the point across. I have 8 syringes of juvaderm (mostly Voluma and Volux) across my lower chin and cheeks (one Volbella in my lips), so my normal profile is nowhere near this. $8-$10k of fillers nd Botox per year and I think it's time to just make some surgical changes. What would you recommend? I'm wanting a big change that will last me hopefully until 50 (I'm 38 now.)

Answer: Deep plane facelift and neck lift Thank you for your inquiry and sharing your photographs. The images show relatively significant volume under the chin and jawline, which is mostly related to hereditary characteristics. It detracts from the ability to see more clearly the contours of the face. There is also some laxity in the jowl regions, and it combines with the visibility of the labiomandibular lines to make the lower face appear heavier. In my opinion, a combination of deep plane facelift and deep plane neck lift is your best answer for significant and lasting changes. You may need to reduce some of the filler volume in the cheeks as the redistribution of volume from the lower face towards the midface is quite significant if you do a deep plane facelift intervention.

Answer: Face and neck Lift with Chin Implant Hi Susie, Thank you for your question. In my experience, having deficient chin projection is often associated with the prematurely aged appearance of the jowls, neck profile, and marionette shadows. Therefore, a chin advancement procedure would improve facial balance and define your neck profile. An implant may be the easiest solution depending on your dental occlusion, You have already seen the benefits of augmentation with temporary fillers, so a silicone implant would provide a longer term solution with minimal risk. The need for face and neck lifts at your age would be best assessed in person considering overall benefits and risks. I offer complimentary in-person consultations at my Newport Beach office. All the best to you, Dr. Stephen Fink Newport Beach, California
