Thanks for your question. Based on your photo, itlooks like you're either young or have aged exceptionally well. A facelift canaddress a variety of age-related concerns, including a downturned mouth, but atthis stage, it appears that a facelift would not be necessary. I'd recommendtrying dermal fillers first. When administered by an experienced plasticsurgeon, these products can create a noticeable, age-appropriate improvementwithout the need for surgery or recovery time. Good luck!
Sad Mouth appearance and faceliftFacelift can improve the appearance of the mouth in cases where there is significant aging of the cheeks with jowls. In your particular case the cheeks are quite youthful. You could benefit from some non-surgical treatments, like Botox and Juvederm.
This can be corrected non-surgically with a combination of the following:1) Botox2) Facial fillersThe fillers are used to fill any static lines that may be present. This is not always necessary to give a good result. It is the Botox that will actually elevate the corners of the mouth. I would recommend visiting an experienced physician for an in-person consult. I hope this helps, and best of luck.
Short of a surgical "corner of mouth lift", which is an option, using strategic placement of filler injections to support the lateral lip is effective, as is judicious and accurate placement of Botox in the muscles that pull the corners of the mouth downward (these muscles are call the depressor anguli oris muscles or DAO muscles) is effective as well.
Hello. Nonsurgical options such as injectables may treat the frown lines successfully in some cases. Others require a true operation to get the job done. A midface lift is one of the smaller type of surgical procedures that can be done to do this. I recommend you seek the advice of a plastic surgeon to determine which option is right for you.
I agree with seeking a consultation for neuromodulator (botox, dysport, xeomin) to the depressor anguli oris muscles to elevate the corners of your mouth.
The downward turn of the corners of your mouth can be improved with just a few units of Botox to the muscles that pull the corner of the mouth down. I would not recommend a midface lift for your "sad mouth". Fillers are may improve the area in people that have had some volume loss. This does not seem to be the cause in your case. I recommend seeing someone in your community that is comfortable injecting Botox around the mouth. Best Wishes.
You look very youthful in your photo. Before surgery, consider a filler in the corners of the mouth. Find an injector skilled with Juvederm go to juvederm dot com and check the doctor finder to find the top providers in your area
Although mid face lifts are excellent to correct jawline it is not the best to correct your smile. The best way to address this is with botox and or a filler. Botox injected in the correct place can weaken the depressor muscles which can help elevate the commissures of the mouth. Fillers can correct the marionette lines as well as the nasolabial folds.
a midfacelift in my opinion has not really shown good results for people. Midface aging is due to a large part on a volume loss. For your sad mouth you can consider lip lifts and volume around your mouth.
A facelift will improve facial appearance in someone who has lost their dentition. Of course reconstruction with dental implants and restorations will enhance the result by increasing facial fullness and support, but it is not an absolute. This could always be done secondarily...
For our patients, most will have fat grafting at the time of facelift, though after you are healed you can have structural fat grafting if you missed out during the lift. You might proceed as early as three weeks as the grafts are placed out of the 'lift zones' for most in the periorbital,...
The salt water would not cause increased swelling, but it's possible that the heat of the pool water could cause some swelling. If you are swimming, the positioning of your body with your face down could also cause more swelling. In general, keeping your head elevated generally helps...
