Would I be best suited for a lower facelift? (Photo)

Hi Bagbegone,Thanks for the question. I do not think that a facelift would adequately address the areas that you highlighted. It would definitely help improve the jowls and lower face, which I think you would like. However, it would not lead to significant change in the area around the mouth. For this area, I would recommend a non-surgical approach with HA fillers. My fillers of choice for this area are Lyft, Restylane, Defyne, and Refyne. I advise you to seek out an experienced facial plastic surgeon for evaluation.Please let us know if you have any other questions or concerns!Dr. Ward

You may need a combination treatment of lower facelift as well as fillers or fat. In some instances, it’s best to stage these procedures and see how you look after one before proceeding with the other. You could start with the least invasive one, the filler. The key is identifying what feature is actually aging you. This is where the experience of your doctor is key. Seek out an experienced board certified facial plastic surgeon. I wish you the best!

I recommend fillers to soften the nasolabial folds themselves and also lift around the mouth and cheeks to build underlying anatomical support. In our practice we combine Sculptra with other fillers "layered" on top and lasers, skin tightening treatments such as Thermage, Fractora, and Renuvion (J Plasma), thread lifting, and peels to get the most conservative, natural look. I suggest seeing a facial sculpting expert for a formal consultation. Best, Dr. Emer

After reviewing your pictures I will recommend you  a lower Face and Neck  procedure. That surgery not only will address your concerns but also will improved your neck that the  Platysma bands are  becoming more evident

Thanks for sharing.  You are a good candidate for a lower face and neck lift.  These procedures target the nasolabial fold, jowl, marionette folds and neck.  Though there are some limitations to how much it will lift the fold at the corners of the mouth. Here, some additional filler after surgery may be required for your desired result. A lower facelift can give you a natural result but should not "pull the mouth"  Contact a few experienced board certified surgeon. Best of luck!

Thank you for your question and for attaching photos. You appear to be an excellent candidate for a face lift/ neck lift. This procedure will improve your jowls, tighten your neck and give you a more refined jaw line. Face lifts these days in the right hands can give you a beautiful, natural look with minimal down time. You should see a board certified plastic surgeon who is an ASAPS member for a consultation to discuss your goals and surgery options. Best of luck.

Hi Bagbegone,Thanks for sharing your question and photos with us,Without a series of good photos or in-person evaluation, it is possible to give you just a very general answer. Overall you are still young and maybe non surgical treatment may be beneficial.  
Most patients want a facelift however do not want the downtime associated.  The Concept Facelift is a procedure which combines the latest surgical techniques with the use of local anaesthetic to dramatically reduce the risks associated with traditional facelifts, while significantly reducing the bruising and downtime of your recovery, from months to a matter of days. The lower facelift would lessen the marionette lines, however does not remove.  These can be soften even more by chemical peels or laser treatments.
If you have lax facial skin, lost volume and feel that you have jowls and wrinkles on your cheeks and you look tired when you're not then the Concept Facelift can help improve your appearance. With concept facelift you will look natural and fresh just like the way you feel inside. There are no bandages, drains and hospital stay but with lasting results of traditional facelift techniques it fits with today's age.
What are the benefits of a local anaesthetic facelift?
Minimally invasive as it is a short scar faceliftThere is minimal bruising and swelling, especially when compared to traditional faceliftsAs the procedure is performed under local anaesthetic, you can go straight home following the procedureFull recovery in a matter of days rather than monthsSignificantly less risk than Facelifts performed under general anaestheticFresh, youthful and long lasting resultsAll the best and good luck

The best fix for a loose lower face is a combination of a Mini Lift with a neck lift and plastysmaplasty. This combination will tighten the neck muscles, remove the fat under your chin, tighten the skin on the neck and jawline, and resolve lower-face sagging and jowls. Surgery is the best solution for sagging; anything else is temporary and ultimately unsatisfactory. I hope this helps.
 

 Lower facelift will treat the jowls, jawline and neck. I invented a minimally invasive facelift. Bruising, pain and recovery are minimal versus traditional techniques (please see the video on our page).This will not treat the fold that run between the side of your mouth and the side of your nose. Either an Endoscopic cheek lift (witch I helped to pioneer) or a high SMAS with fat grafting will help to treat this area. I hope you find this information useful. Please watch the enclosed video.

 A full set of facial photographs are required to make a determination about how best to proceed. The areas that you have outlined are only moderately improved with a lower face and neck lift. It's important not to stretch this area of the skin too much, otherwise it will not look natural. The goal of a lower face and neck lift is to tighten loose facial and neck skin, tighten loose facial and neck muscles, remove fatty deposits in the neck along with a  platysma-plasty, and lift the jowls.
