Hi, Is this facial sagging/hollowing typically expected for early 40s or would this be considered accelerated aging for 41? Looking for treatment recommendations?
Answer: Normal! Hi Nikole! What you are experiencing is completely normal aging–loss of collagen, elastin and facial volume. You can consider a lower facelift to tighten the neck/jawline and soften the shadows on the face. Facial fat grafting would also be a great option for you (with OR without the facelift) to restore the volume in the face and give you a more youthful appearance. The less invasive options you can consider are Sofwave to tighten the skin and fillers to restore volume.

Answer: I would need to perform a physical examination Based on the photos you’ve provided, there appears to be noticeable sagging and volume loss, especially in the lower face (chin and neck area). This type of change can be seen in some individuals in their early 40s, but it may also be considered accelerated aging. To address these concerns, I would recommend a **lower facelift** procedure. A lower facelift will help lift and tighten the chin and neck area, giving you a more youthful appearance. Additionally, the **SMAS (Superficial Musculoaponeurotic System)** facelift targets the deeper structures of the face, such as muscles and connective tissue, providing more permanent and natural results. This technique effectively addresses sagging in the lower face and provides long-lasting rejuvenation. To offer you the most accurate recommendation, I would need to perform a physical examination.

Answer: Lower face and jaw line aging Your photos show normal aging in the lower face. You have some volume loss and laxity of the soft tissues. This leads to a deflated appearance with redundancy along lower cheek and jaw line. Your options would be to treat the volume loss with fillers or fat transfer and the laxity with surgery or minimally invasive energy modalities. The minimally invasive treatments are going to be somewhat variable in their effectiveness and won't be long lasting (but some people are OK with that). Surgery would entail some variation of a facelift.
