I’ve just turned 37 and currently 35 weeks pregnant . I know in my family jowls are hereditary and I don’t really have cheekbones to help the matter ! I’ve booked for a threadlift ( silhouette soft ) after the baby . 6 threads in total . But I’m worried my face is getting too heavy . What would be the best option going forward ?

Answer: Mini Facelift? From your photos, I think you may like your threadlift. The only downside is that they only last 12-18 months. You may be a great candidate for a minilift. It is a procedure that is performed in the office using local anesthetic. A pressure dressing is applied that day, but is removed the next morning. The incisions are all in and around the ear, so patients with longer hair can actually cover the area and do relatively normal things, even with sutures in. By a week, when the sutures are removed, almost everyone is back to normal every day living. The minilift would be a "permanent" solution to the problem. The face would continue to age naturally, but the improvement would be there forever.Andrew Campbell, M.D.Facial Rejuvenation SpecialistQuintessa

Answer: MACS Mini Facelift Catsadles I see what you mean, and since prominent jowls are hereditary, a mini facelift is a reasonable option in your case, even if you are on the younger side. Often times thread lifts don’t work, are temporary at best and can also look funny if the threads are not placed properly. Save your money and hold off for a MACS Mini Facelift.Developed in Europe, it is the ideal approach for the younger patient, not ready for a full facelift, or patients who desire a less invasive procedure with a shorter recovery time. It addresses both the mid face area (especially the jowls) as well as the neck, if needed. Consult with a board-certified plastic surgeon in your area to explore the best options for you. Good luck.
