I’m 42 and have been unhappy with how my lower face has been aging over the past few years. I’m noticing increased heaviness, loss of jawline definition, and early jostling and sagging. I’m 5’8”, 135 lbs, and my weight has been stable for years. I’ve consulted with several surgeons so far ,two have recommended a mini facelift, while two others have advised a deep plane facelift with a neck lift. I’m hoping to get additional input from experienced surgeons here on which approach may be most appropriate at this stage. I’m open to the possibility of future procedures, but I’d like to make the best decision for where I am now and achieve results that allow me to feel confident and refreshed while still looking natural.
