I take pictures of myself and I hate how long my face is, and it looks like I have Jowls. I’ve done cheek fillers and love them, but it’s not picking up the jowls enough. The cost of fillers ads up over time, so I’m thinking of just going for the real thing. I think it would make a huge difference. What do you think?

Answer: Facelift candidate I don't recommend a facelift at this time, because you don't have enough skin laxity. I would recommend volume enhancement using a number of techniques ranging from fat to synthetic fillers which will help symmetry. Once facial aging progresses to skin laxity and dissent, I recommend a micro or many facelift. I actually have found that patients who get treated surgically sooner end up looking better longer.

Answer: Too Soon for Facelift Thank you for your question. Is does appear you are showing early signs of ageing but at this stage non surgical skin tightening (renevion) or skin rejuvenation (co2 laser) would help improve the appearance of your skin making you appear youthful and radiant. Where you have started to lose a little volume this can also be replaced by dermal fillers or fat transfer. I feel having a facelift now would be too premature and the results will be minimal. The still pay the same money for little improvement. Please have a consultation with a board certified surgeon to discuss your options. I agree a facelift is not needed for yourself now. All The Best

Answer: Facelift at a young age The photos are limited but I will address some of your concerns based on what I see. There does not appear to be significant jowling, but flatness in the cheeks and a long upper lip. Rather than continue to spend money on fillers, you might consider cheek implants which are permanent and will elevate the nasolabial folds and provide fullness to your cheeks. In addition, you may be an excellent candidate for an upper lip lift procedure. This surgery will shorten the distance between your nose and lip and provide more "pink" of the lip to be displayed as well as provide a more defined cupids bow.
