Which procedures would help me achieve more facial harmony and can they be done at the same time? 42 y/o (photos)

This is my expertise and a huge portion of my practice. Asymmetry is normal and expected. Buccal fat pad gives slimming not symmetry. Masseter botox will make you slimmer and make the jawline more loose. Fillers help give shaping and contouring. If you want perfect or close to perfect symmetry you need maxillofacial surgery or implants customized. I suggest seeing an expert to go through all options. Most of my younger clients use fillers to give them shaping especially on the cheeks, jawline, and chin which make the face look more slim and tight; and threads such as PDO or Instalift can build collagen and support the facial shaping and skin looseness over time, slowing down the aging process and given the face a more “snatched” look; and morpheus8 or PiXel8 deep microneedling RF can tighten crepe skin especially on the neck and jawline and is great for long term tightening of the full face, neck and chest; its often used to give the face a slimmer more sculpted look because it tightens the skin and gives lift. an early face lift can be performed as well even in younger clients if they want a different facial shape, maxillofacial surgery with bone breaking or shaving can also be done. For facial slimming a combination of treatments are always needed. Options include: 1. Buccal fat pad removal to reduce fat on the lower face 2. Factite or Renuvion/J Plasma to tighten the lower face, jawline, and chin to reduce fat and give the jawline and neck tightening and shaping. 3. Botox to the masseter to reduce the muscular size of the jaw giving the face an illusion of being more slender 4. Fillers to the jawline, chin, cheeks, temples and brow help to shape the face and make it more angled and defined Always use at home derma rolling (see link to Emerageskin x anteageMD roller plus stem cells/hyaluronic acid ampules) and peels like emeragecosmetics enlighten or aerify that can be used to improve skin quality and tighten the skin while improving wrinkles, pigmentation, acne, and Melasma. See an expert who does facial shaping with surgical and non surgical methods to get a comprehensive option. Best, Dr. Emer.

Thank you for your question and sharing your photographs.

To help you evaluate whether buccal fat reduction could be relevant to achieving goals, I suggest that you examine your facial features lying down completely flat versus sitting up. When you lie down completely flat, the appearance of the face has a lot in common with the impact of a deep plane facelift intervention. If in this situation you feel that the lower face has the contours that you seek to achieve, it may not be necessary to incorporate buccal fat reduction in the treatment plan.

Overall, a combination of deep plane facelift and deep plane neck lift would represent the most effective contouring along the jawline, for the marionette lines and for the contour of the neck. Other interventions like liposuction and mini lifts can also provide improvements, but they would be more limited.

Rhinoplasty surgery can be combined with the facial and neck contouring or can be carried out separately.

Hello. When I examine your photos, I can say that you will benefit from lower facelift and buccal fat removal surgeries. With lower facelift, your sagging lower face will be lifted, excess fat will be removed and reshaped. Buccal fat removal can also remove excess fat from your cheeks and make your face look thinner. If you do not have a problem with breathing, I will not recommend rhinoplasty because your nose suits your face. Please check our Instagram account and RealSelf photos.
