Mini Facelift at 33 years old? (Photo)

Question

I’ve noticed a significant deepening of my nasolabial folds and marionette lines. I have attempted to rectify using mid-cheek and temple dermal filler to no avail. Am I a candidate for a Mini Facelift? I’m not sure what else to try! I’m booked in for Ultraformer, but am not convinced this will have the effect I’m after.

Jason Emer, MD · Answer

I recommend fillers to soften the nasolabial folds themselves and also lift around the mouth and cheeks to build underlying anatomical support. In our practice we combine Sculptra with other fillers "layered" on top and lasers, skin tightening treatments such as Thermage, Fractora, and Renuvion (J Plasma), thread lifting,  and peels to get the most conservative, natural look. I suggest seeing a facial sculpting expert for a formal consultation. Best, Dr. Emer

Based on these photos it appears that chin augmentation may significantly help your facial balance. NLF and M lines are best treated with fillers, in our experience. You may be a candidate for neck, jaline, lower face tightening by means of mini face lift. In person consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon or teleconference, is recommended. Good luck.

Connie Hiers, MD, FACS · Answer

I would suggest a treatment like Secret which is micro-needling with radiofrequency for better tightening. You also can boost yearly as you age to slow down changes.
