Is it worth it to do the lower facelift in my early 40s? (Photo)

Thank you for your inquiry and sharing your photographs. A neck lift procedure can address a lot of the concerns that you are describing along the jawline and the neck contours. A facelift intervention for the lower face only is also potentially valuable, but to address the laxity under the chin, an extension of the scar in front of the temporal hairline may be of benefit. This could also increase the longevity of the result. To increase the longevity of facelift and neck lift surgery, regular use of sunblock is very important. It protects against the damage from ultraviolet radiation that affects the elastic collagen fibers in the skin, which as adults we do not replenish.

In person exam is essential. Based on limited photos it appears that you would benefit from lower facelift/ neck lift with muscle tightening. I suggest that you seek an experienced Board Certified PS
