I am 42 and am bothered by lower facial laxity and hollowing. Would it be worth getting a deep plane mini-facelift at this point or is it premature? I have alread tried micro needling and radio frequency which didn’t do me any favors and am opposed to anymore energy devices. I have had a few consults and received opinions ranging from do nothing and wait, to fat transfer, to mini-facelift without fat transfer. I am hoping to get some more feedback and reconcile which direction I should head.

Answer: Facelift Considerations Hello, hope you are well. There appears to be skin/soft tissue redundancy under your chin and along your jawline. I would strongly dissuade you from transferring any fat to the lower half of your face. A surgical lift would be a great option, but I would recommend a modified version of the Deep Plane Facelift over any type of "mini lift", "weekend lift", "ponytail lift" etc.

Answer: Chin implant and lip lift You are too young for a face lift. From your side view, your chin is not prominent enough and I would recommend a chin implant. This will help take in some of the laxity of the skin of the neck and define your jawline better. I would also recommend a lip lift. A lip lift does 4 things: shortens the distance between your nose and upper lip, increases the mucosa of the upper lip, increases the incisor show and pulls up the corners. This will also help with the marionette deformities.
