Lower facelift - what can be done for a better aesthetic? (Photo)

Thank you for your question and photographs.

An important point regarding maintaining useful appearance of the face and neck is sun protection. If you are already doing this on a daily basis it is great, otherwise it would be worthwhile introducing it to your skin routine.

If you would like to understand what facelift procedure can do for you and in particular along the lines of what the deep plane facelift typically delivers, I suggest that you examine your face shape when you lie down completely flat without a pillow and look in the mirror rather than in selfie photos. When you compare the appearance of the face lying down and sitting up, you will notice some differences and you will also notice whether facelift is the right type of change for your desired aesthetic goals.

Volume loss related to radiofrequency treatments can be compensated for using fat transfer or Sculptra and to some degree this can also be simulated in 3D photos to help you with your decisions.

Thank you for your question and photos. Administering filler into the areas of the face that have lost volume can improve your face’s appearance for a supple, natural-looking result. Dermal fillers can restore fullness and definition to shallow contours by adding naturally occurring hyaluronic acid back into the dermal structure. An autologous fat transfer can also restore lost facial volume using your body’s own fat to produce a rejuvenated and youthful appearance. I recommend scheduling an in-person consultation with an experienced, board-certified facial plastic surgeon. They will be able to review your treatment history, discuss your concerns with you, and help you decide on the best course of action.

FaceTite can internally tighten the skin in the lower face and neck. After all the skin has been heated and contracted, we shape the neck with liposuction to give definition and remove stubborn pockets of fat. In one quick treatment, we can tighten skin, remove fat, and contour the lower face, jawline, and jowls with only a weekend of downtime.​ Keep in mind that combination approaches will give you a more significant improvement as opposed to a single procedure. I recommend getting a consultation with a board-certified cosmetic dermatologist and facial sculpting expert. Best, Dr. Emer
