Hello, I feel like my mid-face lacks definition, is it due to my jaw being too wide or is my skin already sagging at 25?
Answer: Weak Mid-face Atrophic, or under developed midface, is easily treatable, especially in a younger age with injectable fillers or fat grafting. It is my recommendation that you start this process now due to volume changes and as we get older your weak mid face will tend to be more apparent.

Answer: Filler or Fat Grafting to Cheeks Hello and thank you for your question. When it comes to soft tissue enhancement, the main options I recommend are dermal fillers or fat grafting. Fat grafting adds volume to specific areas of your face by taking the fat from your abdomen or thighs, and injecting it into your face. This is your body's own natural tissue, so you don't have to worry about rejection or reactions to the injected material. Once the fat "takes" (lives and integrates into the new injected site), the results last a long time. This differs from hyaluronic acid (HA) filler, the most common type of dermal filler, which typically degrades over about a 12 month period, meaning you need periodic re-injections to maintain the results..You would likely benefit from some filler or fat grafting to your cheeks to add some definition and refine your face shape, as you had mentioned. That said, it is difficult to provide any tentative recommendations, as there is only so much information to be gained from the one photo you have provided. I would recommend for you to come see me or another plastic surgeon for a formal consultation to thoroughly discuss your surgical goals, be formally examined, evaluate all your options (surgical and nonsurgical), and decide on the best procedure(s) for your specific case. I hope this helps!

Answer: Face facts When the midface is not as projecting, the cheeks look flat and sagging usually begins earlier. At 25, I would consider cheek fillers. It is quick, no down time, and adjustable. Some products last 18 months, Not a fan of cheek implants but they do exist.

Answer: NECK AND JOWLINE DEFINITION Thank you for your question. You're still young, and so, you are still producing collagen, and your collagen fibers are still strong, so you would be an ideal candidate for a non invasive esthetic procedure such as radio frequency. There are many variations of Radio Frequency, and this could stimulate the production of both collagen and elastin fibers and tighten the skin. This, combined with jawline liposuction or jawline liposculpture, could be your best option. Since we don't have a profile view of your face and neck, I can only guess that you have some fat deposits under your chin and along your jawline, and then a scar less necklift could be the best option.
