I am sick of how disproportionate my face is. I constantly get comments on how sad/angry I look (even when I'm feeling alright!) and I believe it's because my face has a naturally resting "sad" structure. I really want to fix this but need suggestions on what I can do in order to make my face look a little happier at a resting state. I was thinking a brow lift might help? Please advise
Answer: Facial Slimming — Masseter Botox, Facetite/Renuvion J Plasma, Buccal Fat Pad Removal, Fillers to sculpt the Cheek/Jawline/Chin This is my expertise and a huge portion of my practice. Asymmetry is normal and expected. Buccal fat pad gives slimming not symmetry. Masseter botox will make you slimmer and make the jawline more loose. Fillers help give shaping and contouring. If you want perfect or close to perfect symmetry you need maxillofacial surgery or implants customized. I suggest seeing an expert to go through all options. Most of my younger clients use fillers to give them shaping especially on the cheeks, jawline, and chin which make the face look more slim and tight; and threads such as PDO or Instalift can build collagen and support the facial shaping and skin looseness over time, slowing down the aging process and given the face a more “snatched” look; and morpheus8 or PiXel8 deep microneedling RF can tighten crepe skin especially on the neck and jawline and is great for long term tightening of the full face, neck and chest; its often used to give the face a slimmer more sculpted look because it tightens the skin and gives lift. an early face lift can be performed as well even in younger clients if they want a different facial shape, maxillofacial surgery with bone breaking or shaving can also be done. For facial slimming a combination of treatments are always needed. Options include: 1. Buccal fat pad removal to reduce fat on the lower face 2. Factite or Renuvion/J Plasma to tighten the lower face, jawline, and chin to reduce fat and give the jawline and neck tightening and shaping. 3. Botox to the masseter to reduce the muscular size of the jaw giving the face an illusion of being more slender 4. Fillers to the jawline, chin, cheeks, temples and brow help to shape the face and make it more angled and defined Always use at home derma rolling (see link to Emerageskin x anteageMD roller plus stem cells/hyaluronic acid ampules) and peels like emeragecosmetics enlighten or aerify that can be used to improve skin quality and tighten the skin while improving wrinkles, pigmentation, acne, and Melasma. See an expert who does facial shaping with surgical and non surgical methods to get a comprehensive option. Best, Dr. Emer.

Answer: Brow Lift Thank you for your question. A brow lift will reposition the brow shifting the wrinkles and repositioning a sagging brow. Fillers can provide a more relaxed appearance allowing you to express the emotions you feel rather than appearing angry, worried or upset due to wrinkles. I suggest that you move forward and consult with a board certified facial plastic surgeon.

Answer: How to Brighten a Sad face As we age the face often takes on a sad or angry look. To turn that frown upside down, fillers can often help. It would have been helpful to have a full face picture. I think the heigth of the brows are fine. The upper eyelids are droopy and if that is their normal state, you should be evaluated for a ptosis repair. Some filler in the cheek will help to soften the drawn look under the eye.

Answer: Consider elective eyelid surgery By the picture you provided, it appears you have a 2-3 mm ptosis of both upper eyelids. I would look into this further before proceeding with any surgery. I personally would not recommend a browlift.
