I'm 48 and wanted correction on my jowl. My Dr. recommended an endotine midface lift. I asked her to include a quote for the lower face and she did, but said she didn't feel I needed the lower lift and would have a good result with just the midface lift. I said I really wanted to do both she again said you don't need it. Now 30 days post I'm very disappointed. My cheeks are lifted, but not much improvement in my jawline and my neck looks worse. When can I have surgery to finish my lower face?
Answer: Hope this helps! While I can offer insights from a distance, my approach to facelift surgery involves addressing all aspects of aging comprehensively. Looking at the pre-operative photo you've provided, my consideration would have leaned towards performing a full facelift with a High SMAS flap and incorporating neck enhancement. In terms of timing for a revision procedure to address the lower face, there's no specific minimum waiting period. Each patient's situation is unique, and a thorough evaluation is necessary to determine the ideal timing for a revision that aligns with your goals and recovery.

Answer: Timing I always recommend patients wait as long as possible for revisions, which can be emotionally challenging. I prefer the tissues are completely softened and recovered before doing a second operation you never wanted in the first place in an area that now responds less favorably because of the prior surgery.

Answer: Revision partial facelift It is always easier to suggest things from a far, but my philosophy of facelift surgery are to address all areas of ageing. In the pre op photo you have I would have performed a full facelift with High SMAS flap and opened your neck. There is no minimum time to wait to get the lower face addressed now.
