Hello Doctors. I'm unhappy with the heaviness of my lower face and undefined jaw line. I'd like to get something done to address the excess skin, tighten and lift the lower face and neck and also make my jaw line look more defined, I'd like a more heart shaped face vs the round or square shape I have now. I am wondering what type of face lift is best for me (deep plane, mid, mini etc)? Won't a mini / lower lift not last as long and need to be repeated soon? I'm 40. Thank you.

Answer: A mini facelift would be your best choice. You have excellent cheekbones and facial shape, have kept yourself in very good shape and have a well-defined jawline with minimal jowls and a small amount of platysmal muscle banding in your neck. At 40 years old, your skin elasticity should be excellent. Therefore, I feel that your best option would be to have a mini facelift, with suture plication of the SMAS layer and your muscle to help smooth your neck contour and sharpen your jawline slightly and smooth the skin of your jawline and cheek.. I don’t believe anything more extensive is needed or would benefit you. Your excellent skin elasticity should give you many years of a solid improvement. Best wishes.

Answer: Get a real lower face/neck lift for longevity . Getting a lower face/neck lift under local with a little iv sedation gives amazing results and lasts a long time. It is easy to undergo and looks amazing and natural. Also get the face/neck/chest resurfaced with morpheus and a medium TCA peel at the same time. Cost is roughly $22,000 for quality work and soooooo worth it.
