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: Exaggerated appearance of the chin following facelift surgery Hi there! I believe what you are observing is a correction of the fullness of the lower face that occurs with aging. Our face morphs from a more oval or egg shape to one that is square or boxy down low. Often, surgeons performing a face lift with perform liposuction of the cheeks and along the lower jawline. This can make the face take on an overly slim or long appearance and exaggerate the appearance of the chin. As a part of my consultation, my patients and I discuss aesthetic goals in front of a 3-fold mirror or using 3D imaging software. This helps us to achieve an incredible result about which everyone can be proud. I hope this helps answer your question. Good luck to you!- Dr. SchmidtAs always, please remember that this response is for informational purposes only and does not constitute a patient-physician relationship.

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!
