Marionette lines, what is best option? Approximate cost? Doctor recommending a lower facelift? (Photo)

Thank you for your question and picture.  You can have a lower facelift under local anaesthetic therefor being less invasive than traditional methods as there is less scarring, bruising and swelling for a significantly quicker recovery period.  The Concept™ facelift is suitable for men and women who wish to reduce sagging in the lower face and neck and regain a more natural, rejuvenated appearance.  What are the benefits of a local anaesthetic facelift?

Minimally invasive as it is a short scar faceliftThere is minimal bruising and swelling, especially when compared to traditional faceliftsAs the procedure is performed under local anaesthetic, you can go straight home following the procedureFull recovery in a matter of days rather than monthsSignificantly less risk than Facelifts performed under general anaestheticFresh, youthful and long lasting resultsThe Concept Facelift can be combined with other facial procedures or shaping such as dermal fillers, neck lift, upper blepharoplasty surgery etc. Please make sure you find a reputable and qualified plastic surgeon who can assess you properly to give you a realistic idea of what outcome you can achieve.  All The Best 

Correction of Marionette lines and nasolabial folds is in our experience best treated with soft tissue fillers. Any filler will create significant improvement if injected properly. Knowledge and skill of the person makes all the difference in outcome. No face lift will address this problem per se.

You should seek a consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon with good reputation in facial rejuvenation and discuss your options. Good luck.
