Too young for a facelift - is a Thread Lift a good option for me?

Liposuction under local and Facetite RF to tighten up the skin would do wonders for you and is so easy to undergo with only 1 day downtime. You can see improvement the very next day with almost no bruising or swelling. Thread lifts would be a waste of money and time.

There are only two good options to lift and contour the lower face and neck. The first is a facelift for which you are to young and the second is using PDO threads. The brand that is ideal is Mint Threads that are FDA approved.
The Mint Threads are place through small pin stick holes, after the skin has been made numb..
Using a variety of threads the mid-face (cheeks) jowls, jaw and neck tissues that are lax are lifted.
Within 4-8 weeks the threads start to enhance your skin quality as they stimulate collagen.
When the threads are coupled with facial fillers (Radiesse or Voluma, etc) the process affords a 3 dimensional rejuvenation.

Facetite is a relatively new technology that is a minimally invasive procedure that can be considered as an alternative to a surgical face and neck lift. It is about half as effective for tightening jowls and laxity in the neck as a face lift is, but it is about half the cost and has minimal (2-4 days) of downtime. It is truly the most exciting addition to my practice in the past decade because it is a game changer for younger patients that are not quite ready for surgery, but still have laxity issues they would like to address.

Chin implant would be a better choice to restore facial balance. You are too young for a facelift. Submental liposuction can be done at the same time.

A variety of options can be used to address the problem you are experiencing including PDO threads. . Also check out CoolSculpting to reduce fat if there are. In order to tighten and firm your skin, I would suggest combining Secret RF with Fraxel. Botox and fillers are also wonderful options when appropriate. Please contact a qualified provider or a board-certified physician with extensive experience in these procedures.

Thank you for sharing your photos! With a mini-lift, only the lower face -- from cheek to chin -- is lifted, which effectively eliminates jowls and redefines the cheekbones. As with a face-lift, the mini-lift is often accompanied by a neck lift, which removes fat from below the chin and tightens the neck's platysma muscles, all through a tiny incision under the chin. The best candidates for the mini-lift are those who are unhappy with the contour of their lower face and neck, and whose skin has good resiliency. It's also an ideal procedure for a patient who is nervous about going all the way with a major overhaul.

You may also be a candidate for a Threadlift. A non-surgical face-lift that is minimally invasive and addresses signs of aging in the face, including droopiness of the skin of the brow, cheeks, jowls, and neck without incisions or scars. Threads are inserted painlessly under the skin to lift and contour the tissues, providing an immediate tightening. The procedure can be performed using local anesthesia, and most patients can return to normal activities the next day. I suggest making an appointment with a board-certified plastic surgeon to find out what would be best for you!
