I have hypothyroidism and I am currently taking medication for it and it's at a stable level. My problem is that I have a sagging face because of this disease. I'm only 24 years old, so my face shouldn't be sagging like this. I'm very upset about my appearance as I look much older than my age with the undereye bags and sagging cheeks. What kind of procedure would I need to undergo? Face lift? Or would there be an alternative treatment to reduce the sagging? thanks

Answer: Facelift? Thank you for your question. Based on your picture, I believe you would be an excellent candidate for hyaluronic filler to help with the areas of the face with volume loss. The region around the eye and midface respond very well to fillers. Also, filler within the nasolabial folds will also improve volume in the cheeks. At this point I would not recommend a facelift or surgical procedure. Be sure to consult with a board certified facial plastic or general plastic surgeon who specializes in facial rejuvenation procedures. I hope that this helps!-David Gilpin

Answer: Saggy face Thank you for your picture. Based on your picture and a stable thyroid level, it appears that you could benefit from some volume in your cheeks. This can be accomplished either with fat grafting, Voluma, RADIESSE , SCulptra or cheek implants. Please consult with several board certified facial plastic or plastic surgeons. Good luck.

Answer: Sagginess treated with fillers At this young age, I would not recommend a facelift, but fillers could give you a nice result by filling in the folds.
