I am 40 years old male who is unsatisfied with droopy neck line, deep nasolabial folds, saggy lower face. I am considering surgical lift, but afraid of postoperative scars. On another hand, my face is prone to swelling, so I think it would get more swollen and large if I use injections like Juvederm. I have also tried non surgical procedures such as ulthera but did not see much of result. Based on looking at my pictures attached, should I still consider facelift as it might be the only option?
Answer: Liquid vs surgical facelift? From your photos you would be best served by a surgical face/necklift. It does not appear as though you have a lack of volume or hollow areas that dermal fillers can correct. Rather, you have a healthy, full face, but with laxity of the skin and deep tissues. Adding volume in the form of fillers will only serve to make you appear puffy. You require lifting and tightening.

Answer: Mini Facelift A mini facelift is a great option for many people. The recovery & downtime is very minimal. There are usually no drains, most people can go out the same day and there are no scars behind the ears and you can wear your hair up anytime and most patients take no pain medicine. There are never any guarantees of course with any procedure whether it is surgical or nonsurgical in nature. I'd recommend not getting into the mindset of thinking the jowls or neck skin will be 100% gone with a mini facelift or neck lift as this might lead to disappointment. It is always best to consider that an area will be improved and discuss how much with your plastic surgeon.
