33 y.o. Female who grew up with a very round, puffy face until her late 20s. I was always self conscious about my overly puffy face and was very happy when it went away, but I started to notice that my skin started sagging around my mouth. I've tried filler in the cheek bone and chin to support mid and lower face, threading, chemical peels, and microneedling. Would I be a good candidate for a mid facelift (or even lower, or both)?
Answer: Temporal cheek lift This procedure uses an incision in the temporal hairline to lift your cheeks and correct jowl fullness, even a bit of the neck. It is a great procedure for younger patients looking for a safe and effective rejuvenation procedure with minimal downtime. It would correct your nasolabial folds and marionette lines.

Answer: Lip lift, chin implant, rhinoplasty At 33, I think you are too young to do a lower/mid facelift. What I recommend instead is a lip lift. A lip lift does 4 things: shortens the distance between your nose and upper lip, increases the mucosa of the upper lip, increases the incisor show and pulls up the corners. You may also benefit from a chin implant and also a rhinoplasty. You have a dorsal hump that could remarkably improved as well as the angle of the nose.

Answer: Facial rejuvenation It would be difficult to give you good advice without in person evaluation and discussion about your concerns and goals. Extended neck lift, small chin implant, chemical peel would be few procedures to consider but direct communication with a board certified plastic surgeon with expertise in facial rejuvenation is strongly recommended. Good luck.

Answer: Consider A Robust HA Contouring Filler For Lower Face Revolumization & Rejuvenation At least from the photos provided, the upper cheek and chin areas are not the particular problem areas, so no surprise that fillers did not solve the problem there. I stopped using threads quite a few years ago owing to its high complication rates and disappointingly short-lived results. So, again no surprises there. And chemical peels and microneedling are better suited to treating superficial color and texture issues of the "fabric" of the skin, so there would have been no significant improvement of any kind expected from either of these approaches.

Answer: Options for mid and lower face surgeries at age 33 Based on your nice post of photos, I recommend an in person or virtual consultation. But my recommendation at this point would be a mini face neck lift with muscle plication, end treatment to face. Fee from $10,000-$20,000. Again, best of virtual consult with.
