Reasonable expectations for mini facelift and /or rhinoplasty? (photos)

Thank you for your enquiry and sharing your photographs.

In the scale of changes available, a deep plane necklift and deep plane facelift would be the most effective combination to produce definition in the lower face, jawline and neck and reduce the visibility of nasolabial and marionette lines.

As far as rhinoplasty surgery, it would be possible to use computer imaging and simulation to appreciate the potential impact of different changes not just for the nose but the overall facial appearance.

3D imaging and simulation can also help the decision regarding lower face and neck interventions.

For the time being, computer simulations for facelift surgery are beset with limitations. To understand what facelift surgery may be able to do for you, I recommend that you examine your face shape lying down completely flat with no pillow. The effect of a good facelift intervention has a lot in common with the appearance of the face when lying down.

FaceTite can internally tighten the skin in the lower face and neck. After all the skin has been heated and contracted, we shape the neck with liposuction to give definition and remove stubborn pockets of fat. In one quick treatment, we can tighten skin, remove fat, and contour the lower face, jawline, and jowls with only a weekend of downtime.​ Keep in mind that combination approaches will give you a more significant improvement as opposed to a single procedure. I recommend getting a consultation with a board-certified cosmetic dermatologist and facial sculpting expert. Best, Dr. Emer

These procedures can be done together safely and give you excellent results. For the nose you would want to reduce the dorsal hump, refine and elevate the tip. The mini lift would address your neck and cheek ptosis. You would need 1 week recovery.
