In some before/after facelift photos I notice that the face looks longer and the chin looks larger with everything in a sharp v rather than a round face shape. Some pictures which dont have this are with surgeons who use a purse string method? I obviously dont understand at all the technical terms but what should I ask prospective surgeons in order to ensure they offer a defined but feminine shape and dont make the chin look larger

Answer: Facelift recommendations regarding technique You have a keen eye. Of course each case is different but technique does play a role regarding the result you desire. One way to soften the look is to transfer fat.Fat transfer from the tummy or thighs to the face is an excellent option for people of all ages. Younger patients can enhance their cheekbones or lips with fat that is natural and long lasting. As we age, our face deflates, losing fat, causing sagging skin to look more obvious. Fat grafting to the face rejuvenates the face with biological filler, your own fat! I frequently use fat transfer to my facelift patients to enhance and prolong the result. Depending on the individual, one treatment does the trick, but sometimes secondary touch ups are needed. Be sure to consult with a board certified plastic surgeon. Good luck!
