54 year old woman. Recently list 60 pounds. Had a mini-facelift 12 years ago, buccal fat removal 2 years ago. Thinking of having a mini face lift. Advisable? Worry my face will look too "short" given my small chin?
Answer: An Advanced MiniLift under local really helps that jawline! From the photos, the Advanced MiniLift under local would give such great results and is so easy to undergo. It fixes the jawline and neck quick and safely. Never go under general if you can help it. Cost is on special currently for just $15,000 and is so worth it. Also you need the skin resurfaced on the face, neck and probably chest which is easy to undergo at the same time as the minilift since everything is numbed up nicely. Morpheus and TCA peel together would do the trick for an additional $5000. Then everything would look rejuvenated and great.

Answer: Secondary Tightening Your pictures demonstrate moderate skin laxity of the face and neck that manifests as facial decent, howling, and central neck excess. The chin also demonstrates volume loss - especially of the upper neck. You may be able to get a way with a mini lift, however, I think you will likely need a secondary modified mini face and neck lift with deep plane tightening of the platysma to sharpen the neck. Overall this should't affect the relationship of the chin with the rest of the face and neck. Typically, I do that procedure as part of our Wide-Awake-Surgery program – surgery done under local anesthesia in the office. The same surgery is also available in the OR under anesthesia.

Answer: I recommend SMAS Greetings from Istanbul, and a hearty congratulations on your successful weight loss! A mini facelift seems to be inadequate for your needs. A SMAS lift would be more suitable to correct the sagging in your jowls and neck area effectively. However, addressing the midface would require an additional procedure, with an incision in the temple area to achieve optimal lifting and rejuvenation. Wishing you continued success on your journey!

Answer: Best Procedure for 54 y/o, recent weight loss We appreciate your question. After reviewing your pictures, it appears that a mini facelift may not achieve the most effective facial rejuvenation in your case. Typically, mini facelifts are recommended for individuals in their 30's and early 40's who exhibit minimal signs of aging. A more comprehensive procedure such as a deep-plane facelift would be more suitable and provide a longer-lasting outcome. This type of facelift can effectively get rid of jowls, tighten the lower face and neck, as well as smooth out the cheeks. We recommend seeking a consultation with a facial plastic surgeon who specializes in facelifts to determine the best option for you. Best wishes! Dr. Konstantin

Answer: Mini lift A mini facelift using a SMAS flap or plication of SMAS (equivalent to a MACS) would be ideal. It would lift your cheeks, efface your nasolabial folds, eliminate jowls, and tighten neck.
