I had 7 clear lift laser treatment from Oct-Feb.It left my skin crepe like and wrinkled.I have had many consults,many different suggestions. From do nothing you look great for 52 to a TCA peel to a lift under local for the excess skin to a deep plane lift/fat injections. I have done my research and exhausted.I wanted a fat transfer until I researched: too unpredictable. I have Juvederm left in my upper lip from 2 years ago it is almost gone in the bottom lip.No more fillers and Botox. Help what to do?

Answer: Facelift with micro fat transfer Thank you for the great question and your photos. It seems like you have gotten as much result as possible from the current laser treatments. In my practice, for a situation like yours, I would recommend a mini face and neck lift with fat grafting and possibly a CO2 laser resurfacing. The lift will help with skin excess and "iron out" some of the larger folds. The fat can be used to add volume in the cheeks to further efface the skin. Lastly, a well-planned ablative laser resurfacing can be done at the time of surgery and will have an additional benefit to the surface texture and pigmentation. Best of luck moving forward!

Answer: Facelift Hello and thank you for the question and sharing your photos. You seem to be a good candidate for a mini face and neck lift, which primarily addresses the jowls and the neck region. Additionally, aging is commonly associated with loss of volume in the cheek area. It's common to have autologous fat graft (transferring your own fat) at the time of facelift to correct malar flattening. It's best to discuss these with a board-certified plastic surgeon. During your consultation, your plastic surgeon should do a full facial analysis and recommend his/her facial rejuvenation plan based on your aesthetic goals. Final decision should be based on a mutual understanding between you and your surgeon. Please also ask to see before and after pictures of your surgeon's results. Best
