Concerned about area around mouth - am I a candidate for a mini facelift? (Photo)

Question

Would a mini facelift help with the area around my mouth as seen in photos?

Farhad Rafizadeh, MD · Answer

You could benefit from a mini facelift and possibly a lip lift with a corner lift. See my pictures. Reducing the long philtrum offers magical results.

You are too early for a facelift at this time. Your perioral anatomy is in very good shape. At this point in your subtle aging process, I would recommend daily SPF and skin resurfacing technologies to boost natural collagen production (ie: RF microneedling devices, CO2 laser, etc.).

Gary M. Horndeski, MD · Answer

I recommend 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. At the same time, fat transfers can be performed of the nasal labial folds and marionette deformities.

It seems that ellacor is the right treatment around the mouth right now. We can do this in the office under local anesthesia.

From your photo you may want to consider FaceTite.  This minimally invasive procedure uses RF technology to tighten the skin.  You can combine it with Morpheus8 to optimize your results and address overall skin tone and texture.  We also recommend using medical grade skin care products like Transform MD and wearing sunscreen every day.

A facelift generally treats, facial jowls, and neck laxity.
It is not a good procedure for contouring around your mouth.
To make a quality assessment, we need a complete set of facial pictures, your age, and have a better understanding of what you’re hoping to achieve.
I suggest patients resist the temptation of making their own assessments and trying to figure out the right procedure for their needs. 
Best,
