Would a mini facelift be a good option for me? (Photo)

Question

II went through through a liver liver transplant in march of 2023 and the liver failure swellling and 8 months of post transplant prednisone and moonface made my face swell and now i have sagging skin at the bottom of my face that hasnt been fixed with filler (i tried.) I am considering a mini facelift with the approval from my transplant team. Its a source of huge frustration for me.

Thank you for your photos. You appear to have excellent facial shape and structure. I would think that a mini facelift, as long as you are cleared by your transplant team and your primary care doctor,  would be an excellent choice for you. it would be minimally invasive, and the areas that you are most concerned about could be targeted.

Gary M. Horndeski, MD · Answer

If your are cleared by your transplant team for surgery then you may benefit from a mini face lift.  However, a mini face lift will not correct your hanging neck skin.  You would need a complete face lift to take care of that as well.

Best Wishes,

Based from the images you’ve sent. I would like to suggest that you’d do Mini facelift. With this procedure your face structure can be improved. Moreover you’d consider to do liposuction for jawline and under chin sagging for better result.

Connie Hiers, MD, FACS · Answer

Since you have filler present, I would suggest micro-needling with radiofrequency like Secret to help treat and prevent loose skin and wrinkles.  Elective surgery may not be in your best interest right now.
