I'd prefer a short incision and minimal downtime. Which type of lift is right for me? (Photos)

I suggest reaching out to an expert for a formal consultation. I like to recommend my patients start a combination of facial rejuvenation treatments.

1) Skincare with products and microneedling/PRP
2) PDT Light Therapy a few times per month with growth factors
3) Laser treatments like Clear + Brilliant regularly and others (Fraxel, Moxi, Viva, CO2, Erbium, Halo) a few times per year
4) Sculptra injections a few times per year for collagen production with fillers like Juvederm, Restylane, Belotero, Radiesse, and/or Bellafill
5) Thermage/Ultherapy for yearly skin tightening with or without PDO or cone-based Instalift threads for lifting
6) Botox every 2 to 3 months to stop movement lines and prevent lines at rest

Best, Dr. Emer.

Hello, and thank you for your question. Based on these photos, you don’t seem to have severe skin laxity, and I believe you can benefit from non-surgical skin rejuvenation procedures. You can consider a combination of neuromodulators and dermal fillers for a liquid facelift, laser and energy devices for skin-tightening treatments, and a PDO threadlift or Profound RF (RF microneedling) to promote collagen production. A more thorough assessment of your skin is necessary, and so I recommend scheduling an in-person consultation with a reputable board-certified facial plastic surgeon. Your surgeon can do a proper evaluation, determine the best procedure or combination of procedures for you, and ensure the best possible outcome.
