Full Facial Rejuvenation - Am I a Good Candidate for a Facelift? (photos)

Assessing candidacy for a facelift is best done in person rather than from photos. Volume restoration appears to be a key concern, and addressing volume loss can significantly improve your appearance. In the lower eye area, removing minimal fat can often yield better results. Additionally, focusing on improving skin quality and addressing laxity can enhance overall complexion and facial aesthetics.

Hello @Pioneering228290, thank you for your question. I would recommend non-surgical treatments and the use of technology that provides solutions for cheek volume and butolin toxin for laugh lines and wrinkles. Your skin is too young for a minimal facelift as from the photos you show me, you do not have enough sagging or significant wrinkles to warrant a mini facelift. Instead, you may benefit from non-surgical treatments such as Botox, fillers or treatments with ultrasound or radiofrequency technologies such as Ultherapy or Morpheus 8, which can help address early signs of aging. If you are concerned about sagging and premature aging, it is best to consult with a board-certified plastic surgeon who can evaluate your skin and provide personalized recommendations on the most appropriate treatment options. They may recommend lifestyle changes, skin care and non-invasive treatments before considering a surgical procedure such as a mini facelift. Best wishes!

You have developed several features: lines as result of muscle activity (forehead lines, frown and crossfeet) which will need botox.
You have developed sunken areas which will need volume: temples, lower eyelid crease (lower eyelid fat transposition), mid central cheeks, nasolabial folds and jawline which will need fat grafting.
And lastly saggy deep tissues: mid face and neck.
So you are candidate as well to Deep plane Facelift which means small skin delamination and extensive deep plane dissection to lift the natural fat volume to its correct position. Also deep plane neck lift which means Reduction of submandibular glands, reduction of digastric muscle, reduction of subplatisma fat and tightening of the platisma muscle. All with the purpose to create a nice neck angle and better definition of the jawline.
Be encouraged!!!! After the correct procedures you will look astonishing, fresher, natural and still yourself!!
