Hi! I am 53 years old and in pretty good shape. I eat right, work out regularly, and have fun keeping up with my 25 year old son.... except when I see my face. I don't feel as old as I look and I hate it! The jowls and loose neck skin are my main concern. I have had filler before to the nasolabial folds, but now I feel like it will not address the pull of gravity to my whole lower face. I'm afraid that I will be told "You are not. Ready for a lower facelift because of my age. Thoughts? TY.

Answer: Facelift and Neck Lift Hello, hope you are well. Based on the photo you provided, you would be a great candidate for a face and neck lift. Although age has very little to do with the decision to undergo surgery--your anatomy is what counts--it is not at all uncommon for patients in their 50s to undergo these procedures. It would be helpful to have an in-person consultation or virtual meeting to assess from all angles. Good luck! Best,Dr. Tower

Answer: You look like a great candidate I don't see any reason in your photo to think you would get anything but a great result with a neck or lower face lift. These procedures take about 90 minutes to do, and you can go home the same day. You should expect a nice improvement and your age is absolutely fine.

Answer: HA Filler Nonsurgical Facelifts & Necklifts For Revolumizing, Lifting & Recontouring The Face & Neck The assertion that fillers cannot lift against gravity is as inaccurate as believing that they cannot revolumize the face, treat jowls, recontour the jawline and neck. It is something that experienced cosmetic dermatologist injectors do practically every day in an active practice. Loss of volume in the cheeks is largely responsible for tear troughs and hollows under the eyes, deepening smile lines and even contribute to marionette lines formation at the sides of the mouth and jowls along the jawline. Loss of jawline definition in turn contributes to sagging below on the neck and crepeyness. All of the foregoing can be treated, nonsurgically with various HA fillers. A volumizing HA filler for the cheeks can lift and reposition them, and secondarily improve the under-eyes and smile lines. It can also straighten a and define a jowly jawline. A lifing HA filler can be used to support the sides of the mouth to straighten marionette lines and to pull the sides of the neck upward to straighten and tighten it. I literally performed all the above for my last patient, a male, yesterday. Treatment took 45 minutes and the results are immediate. A low viscosity, cohesive malleable HA filler can further improve tear troughs and under-eye hollows and also further help to smooth the central area of the neck. In short, you would be wise to consult with a board certified cosmetic dermatologist. But since these injection techniques are advanced ones (and not simply, as most inexperienced injectors typically do, just using a filler directly into the smile lines), you should make sure to ask to see his/.her befores and afters prior to agreeing to proceed. So, don't despair Just make sure to see the right doc. Best of luck.
