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: What to do? Thank you for your question and your photos. Although I am not too involved or knowledgeable about the laser you had done, I am evaluating your photos. I would recommend a lower face and neck lift if some of the excess skin bothers you or you could consider a deep peel (Hetter Peel) or a fully ablative Co2 laser for skin resurfacing. Hope this helps

Answer: What type of treatment could benefit benefit my face now? You just need a facelift which always includes a neck lift. This procedure could be done under local anesthesia and would improve your jowls and neck under your chin. Your upper lip is overfilled. The filler needs to be dissolved. Your face is not volume deficient, therefore no fillers of fat grafting is necessary.

Answer: What if anything should I have done? Lift? Fat transfer? Nothing? Thank you for your question.Based on your photographs, the best procedure in my opinion would be a Face Lift with Autologous Fat Transfer. You could also choose a non surgical skin tightening procedure like Thermi Tight with some Autologous Fat to improve your skin and to fill out the hollows. Please find an experienced Board Certified Plastic Surgeon who can examine you and help you with your concerns. All The Best !

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
