Should I get a face lift and/or filler? (Photo)

DesertRoseJannahJun 13, 2022
Hi, I'm 39 years old. I have sagging jowls, nasolabial folds, indentation under my eyes & small chin. I want fill out the sides of my chin because it really pronounces my sagging jowls. I see an improvement in the indent under my eye, nasolabial folds & sagging jowls when I lift up the lower half of my face. Do I need filler, implant or facelift and where? Can this & blepharoplasty+brow lift be done ahead of rhinoplasty? How much time do I need between the surgeries?

A facelift would be the best option as it would address the midface, lower face and upper neck . a midfacelift would only address the midface and your focus should be on the lower face skin excess.

Hello, and thank you for your question. Based on the photo you provided, you may already benefit from a combination of non-invasive procedures. Botox and dermal fillers can give you a non-surgical facelift, a PDO threadlift (uses dissolvable sutures to lift tissue and tighten skin for a...

Hello @Charming646464, thank you for your question. Consult a craniofacial specialist so that he/she can refer you for the tests you need and in this way find out the cause of what's actually happening on, as there may be many causes and the treatment must be precise. Best wishes! Alan Gonzalez...
