I'm wondering if I have typical progression of jowls for my age? Would prefer non invasive at my age but also wondering if I am a candidate for a mini facelift? I think immense stress over the past 5 years has caused this prematurely. Thank you!
Answer: A lower face/neck minilift with the skin rejuvenation also would look amazing Getting the mini lift under local with a little iv sedation for complete comfort and also getting the Morpheus and TCA peel done at the same time for the whole face/neck/chest would look amazing. It is so easy to undergo and results look so amazing and natural.

Answer: Lots of options depending on your goals I ask my patients what their top 3 goals are. I then cater a surgical plan to meet those goals. There unfortunately is a lot of marketing mixed in. Let me assure you that there are no easy or quick fixes for any problem. If you want long lasting results that do not require a lot of maintenance then surgery is an option. If you want to have mild to moderate results and are ok with more time commitment for multiple treatments (and often times long term more money), then you can proceed with a multitude of nonsurgical treatments. They all have various benefits. However, the above holds true regarding time commitment, cost, and degree of improvement. There are many surgical approaches to facial rejuvenation. A facelift will address jowling and deep nasolabial folds. Fat grafting is a good tool to fill volume loss. Lasers or peels accomplish the same thing. They smooth out the skin like sand paper. This is also another adjunct in addition to skin care regimens. A board certified plastic surgeon, passionate about facial rejuvenation can have an educational discussion to create a plan catered to your needs/goals. I hope you find someone you trust along the way. Best of luck in your search!

Answer: Consider your options for improving texture and increasing collagen Thank you for your question and photos. Since you are interested in non-surgical options, there are several treatments that may address the concerns you’re referring to. Laser resurfacing can improve the appearance of skin texture and mild laxity by removing the outer layer of skin and revealing the healthier layer below. RF microneedling is also a great option for increasing the body’s collagen production, restoring the skin’s elasticity, and reducing the appearance of jowl formation. I recommend scheduling an in-person consultation with an experienced, board-certified facial plastic surgeon. They will be able to review your aesthetic goals and treatment preferences to determine the best approach for you.

Answer: PRP/Microneedling, Laser (Fraxel/Halo/Co2), emeragecosmetics COSMELAN/ENLIGHTEN/EMERAGE SKIN AERIFY Moxi is a ligher laser and helps with pores, we love it every 4-8 weeks along with peels between at home peels like cosmelan, enlighten and aerify along with dermarolling (MTS roller with anteage MD ampules weekly, see link) should be started now to prevent further aging.

Answer: Jowling Hi there! Jowling can vary tremendously from patient to patient. Age doesn't always correspond with progression. You would be a candidate for a mini-lift procedure, but these sometimes aren't aggressive enough to address jowling as opposed to a deep-plane facelift. Less invasive options which may provide some improvement include FaceTite and Morpheus8. The results are not the same as surgery, but there can be nice improvements. Hope that helps!
