I’m 27, asian. Ever since I lost weight & got braces, my cheeks and lips are sagging. I removed 2 teeth due to an overbite & the gaps are almost closed (about 0.5 inches on both sides left). It’s been 2.5 years & my orthodontist says there’s less than a year left. I also heard there is something called thread lifting too. I’m wondering which one would be better in my case & I can’t stand how it looks so I was wondering if it’s ok to get either procedures done during my braces.

Answer: Sagging cheeks Hello, thank you for your questions. So you have an elegant face and jaw line and great skin. A facelift is NOT the way to go in your case. If any intervention is needed, I would consider fillers. These are non permanent solution to give a lifted look. Thread lift is an option as well again non permanent solution which is good in this case.

Answer: Fillers, not surgery I would not do any cosmetic procedures with your braces because you may have a higher chance of infection. At 27, I would not advise a facelift, and I would be cautious about a thread lift. I perform them rarely for people who need a facelift but cannot/do not want to have one. When I look at your face, I do not feel that you need a thread lift. You may benefit from fillers to the cheeks, lips, and smile lines, but I would do it conservatively and not go overboard.
