Will a face lift address the fat along the side of my mouth that runs from my cheek to jaw? What is that fat called: buccal fat or perioral mound or superior jowl fat?
Answer: I have fat along the side of my mouth that runs from my cheek to jaw. You have classic signs of the ageing face, with midface laxity and jowl fat of the superior, superior inferior, and submandibular areas. The way to correct these issues is with a mid- and lower-face suspension along with a neck lift. I often perform these two procedures at the same time, because while in the English language “face” and “neck” are separate entities, when it comes to anatomy, these two are not mutually exclusive, and when dealt with as one entity, the result is much smoother and more elegant without any odd or fake “bunching” of the skin. The mid- and lower-face lift will resuspend the SMAS layer which provides the “heavy lifting” that corrects the laxity, and the neck lift with help with the jowling and submandibular excess. Please consult with a board certified plastic surgeon with decades of experience neck- and facelifts.

Answer: Jowls Thank you for your question and pictures. What I see in your pictures is commonly refer as jowls. This condition is attribute to the lost of elasticity in the skin but also in the tissues (mainly fat ) under your skin. The best way to treat this condition is with a lower face lift with the support of SMAS that elevates the fat along with the skin

Answer: Buccal fat pad removal is not in antiaging procedure. From the photographs it looks as though you'd be best served by a composite rhytidectomy. Buccal fat pad reduction might be a portion of that operation but by itself would not solve the problems demonstrated in the photograph

Answer: Surgical facelift likely best option for you Based on the amount of skin laxity I am seeing in your photos, I believe a surgical facelift would provide the best results for you. This procedure would excise the loose skin and allow me to reposition the underlying tissue to create a more defined jawline and a naturally youthful appearance. When performed by an experienced, board-certified plastic surgeon, the procedure can be customized to the precise needs of each patient for an optimal outcome. I would also suggest adding a neck lift to the treatment, as the loose skin on the neck could also be firmed up for a smooth contour from the face to the chest.
