Answer: Facelift You have a sufficient amount of looseness of the skin of your jowls and neck to justify a facelift. You can try fillers if you like but they won’t do much and are expensive. If you don’t think you are ready for a facelift you could hold off a few yesrsc

Answer: Thank you for your question and photos, Liyann. Clearly and evaluation in person would be required to propel determine how to best help you chive your goals. However, that said, there are several things that can potentially be helpful other than or in a addition to a facelift. You do have some early heaviness of your upper eyelids which can contribute to a tired appearance, and this can be nicely corrected with an upper blepharoplasty (eyelid tuck). You also appear to have some jowl formation related to natural settling of the deeper soft tissues beneath the skin, along with some natural skin laxity that is age appropriate. You also appear to have some volume deficiency on the skeletal level in your mid face/cheek areas and this can be camouflaged nicely with fat grafting, cheek implants, or injectables , implants and fat being more permanent. This can also restore some more aesthetic proportions to give you more width in your mid face since you have a relatively long yet narrow face. You also seem to have have hyperactivity of your chin muscles which can be improved with conservative injections of Botox, and although your profile picture is suboptimal it appears that you have a slightly under projecting chin, and this can be corrected either with fat, or with a chin implant. Finally, you appear to have some acne scarring that may benefit from laser skin resurfacing.
