I've always disliked how my left side has a deeper more noticeable marionette line that creates a shadow. I've always had big cheeks even when I was underweight, and I do know my jaw is uneven and makes my face and smile uneven but the lines has gotten worse as I've aged (I'm 28) and I don't know what the best way to go about fixing this is. Fillers? Botox? Facelift? Or a combination of things. Not sure what options I have or what would give me best results.
Answer: Marionette lines Hello thank you for your question. I would consult with your nearby plastic surgeon, there are some non surgical option to slightly fill in the nasolabial fold and marionette line. If you are planning to loose weight I would hold off on anything.

Answer: Facelift Dear Anika3555 , Thankyou for providing pictures for reference. As per your pictures you seem to be experiencing face laxity, meaning your skin is losing its firmness and tightness which could be due to many factors like pregnancies weight loss stress, etc. In such a case a full-face lift is most beneficial for a permanent solution it would target neck, midface and temporal area. I would suggest to look into expert surgeons who deals in scarless endoscopic vertical facelift which would give you a natural look after full recovery. Moreover, scarless would mean that the lift incisions will be hidden in you hairline and after full recovery will be invisble to see. I recommend vertical facefiit so that you dont get a pulled or artificial look. Furthermore, fat injections is also a technique I would suggest for the areas around your mouth for any deep wrinkles and nasolabial folds which are permanent and will fill in the lack of volume in those areas. Best Regards, TAS TEAM

Answer: Facial Lines Hi Anika! There are options for these areas. In your age group, fillers are a great start. These provide volume and can be done in clinic easily with fast results. Good products are Juvederm Vollure and Restalyne Refyne. The total amount of syringes would vary based on injector and desired outcome. The risks are also low. Buccal fat removal helps to slim more full cheeks. This is also a relatively straight-forward procedure done in clinic with limited downtime. Morpheus8 microneedling also tones the skin and may be a good complement. Hope this helps!

Answer: Cheeks The answer may be multifactorial depending on the physical exam. If you have excellent quality skin, fat grafting alone may be the solution. If the skin is too loose, the correct answer would be likely facelift/necklift with facial fat grafting. I would highly recommend seeing a board eligible or board certified plastic surgeon for a physical exam and accurate analysis with safe recommendations for potential surgical options. Best of luck!

Answer: Marionette lines: what to know about the different solutions Hello, and thank you for providing images along with your question. While a proper evaluation of your skin is necessary to recommend the best treatment options, nasolabial folds and marionette lines can usually be addressed using dermal fillers. Fillers can be injected to either directly fill the fold or by filling the cheek to lift the fold. Fillers may also be injected to treat marionette lines by restoring volume to the areas beneath the wrinkles, smoothing out deep lines and giving the skin a lift to create a younger-looking appearance. Botox works can also be combined with dermal fillers to help achieve better facial symmetry. Profound RF (RF microneedling), and other laser and energy devices that boost collagen production can help tighten and rejuvenate the skin too. To determine the best course of action, I recommend scheduling an in-person consultation with a reputable board-certified facial plastic surgeon. Your surgeon can do a proper evaluation of your skin, recommend the best treatment or combination of treatments, and ensure the best possible results.

Answer: Improve Marionette Lines Thank you for your question and photo submitted. Based off your information provided and your age range, you could achieve correction with less-invasive options than a facelift. If the facial fullness is causing drooping and folding, you could be a good candidate for a Buccal Fat Pad removal procedure, and possibly the introduction of some facial fillers to the nasolabial folds and marionette lines. A secondary option would be a surgical approach, in which facial or neck/jowl liposuction can take down the extra volume and give you a more contoured face and jawline. There are multiple options to consider, but your goals are achievable! The next step to take would be finding a qualified and experienced Board Certified plastic surgeon to do a full facial evaluation and provide you with a designated treatment plan to reach your desired goals.
