I am devastated.... For the last 2 years my face has been quickly going south which has put me in a deep depression. My once beautiful face is falling apart and I need help and answers. I am petrified of plastic surgery but I will do what it takes. I am really hoping I can fix it with fillers for now to hold me off for a few years. I lost about 10 pounds 2 years ago and was in awesome shape but I have let myself go the last 2 years and it seems like the weight is going straight to my jowls!

CONTACT NOW Answer: At your age, fillers for volume and limited surgical procedures like liposculpture as 39 is generally too young for a facelift I wrote a book a few years ago called “The Fine Art of Looking Younger” and explained that the elements of facial aging can be broken down to two simple processes: volume loss and descent. When I look at someone who is complaining about looking older, I assess which part of facial aging is dominant or if it's a combination of the two aspects. The youngest patient that I have ever done a facelift on was 37-years-old. We can conclude that facial aging can have a major genetic aspect and this something that we can’t control. However, we can control physical health and wellbeing. I encourage my patients to manage their health which includes avoiding toxins such as cigarette smoking, excess alcohol use, lack of sleep and severe stress. All of those things can cause a person to age significantly. In order to make a proper recommendation, there has to be a basic physical examination. The reason for this is that when I look at a photo and I see a jowls in that area, I can’t tell if the skin is loose and sagging and whether lifting the skin will reposition the jowls. If the skin is relatively taut or tight, then there is no indication to reposition the skin. In my practice as a facial cosmetic surgeon, I had done procedures limited to liposculpture where I just put in a small cannula and suction to define the jawline or I do a facelift with a limited amount of liposculpture if appropriate. It is important that you start exploring your options but you do need a physical examination first. Without it, you’re going to get a lot of suggestions that are in the absence of the important aspects of understanding the tissue. I recommend that you find a qualified cosmetic surgeon and learn about your options. A lot of times in your age group, there can be a combination of a limited surgical procedure with the use of volume enhancement fillers placed strategically and a little bit of skin care. All of these things can get you looking your best. I hope that was helpful, I wish you the best of luck, and thank you for your question.

Answer: Facial surgery Hello in Middletown, I spent a few years at St Andrews School. I agree with the theme of a chin augmentation with implant or osteotomy and a face and neck lift. If you truly have had a really dramatic change in facial features you may benefit from medical evaluation to rule out rheumatoid type disorders as well as seeing an dentist for panorex xray to make sure your condyles are not resorbing contributing to this rapid change. Good Luck!

Answer: Facelift at 39? I can see your concerns. You could certainly try non-surgical solutions but I think at the end of the day surgery will be the best choice for you. You have a rather weak lower jaw / chin which is contributing to your problem. My guess is that you would have great success with a neck lift (or lower facelift) and a chin implant. Your neck muscles could be improved with tightening, which is generally included in necklift procedures. Good luck.

Answer: Facelift/ neck lift and chin implant The chin implant placement would help significantly by augmenting the lower chin area and giving better facial balance and structure. There are fatty deposits in the neck above and below the platysma muscle but will need to be addressed by either a neck lift alone or a face neck lift, depending upon the amount of excess skin present. The amount of loose skin/ jowls in the neck will determine what procedure will need to be performed this is best determined at the time of the physical examination and consultation. For many examples please see link below to our neck lift/ chin implant photo gallery

Answer: 39 year old female with loose neck. What's best option? I think that a necklift with chin augmentation would provide a good improvement of your neck and chin, without having to go through a facelift.
