I'm not familiar with all the procedures out there, so it would be great to hear some feedback on this. I'm half asian, so I have great skin; however, I have gained/lost weight with pregnancies so I feel like there's some looseness going on. I've also noticed my "RBF" (resting b*** face) getting a little more pronounced because of the natural drooping that occurs over time from ones eye line to chin. Thank you

Answer: Skin Quality, Not Age, Determines Need for Mini Lifts Although 36 is young to be considering a mini lift, chronological age is not the determining factor in what kinds of procedures would most benefit a patient. Instead, individual anatomy, skin quality, and expected outcome are the factors to be considered when making recommendations. Gaining and losing weight can stretch out the skin to the point where it may not “snap back.” Depending on how lax the skin is, it may not even respond to some of the nonsurgical modalities now available.A mini facelift will clean up your jawline and neck and can last for up to 10 years. If you suspect that your weight might continue to yo-yo, however, you might wish to delay the procedure until it is more stable. I hope that helps.

Answer: Who needs a mini-lift at age 36? As we age, the face first loses volume, then the skin loses elasticity. At age 36, you are probably losing volume. You have the benefit of having Asian skin, which maintains good elasticity. So my guess is that volume would help you more than a minilift. You need to understand that a minilift only improves the jawline and jowls. Without seeing photos of you, I think you probably could consider a "liquid facelift" with Botox and fillers. I'll also bet your RBF is not nearly as bad as you suggest!!!
