Need some advice. I am 47 soon to be 48 years old. I am feeling great, but years of running, lifting, KIDS, have taken its toll:) I recently had a BA, and it turned out great. Now on to the face. I would like to do something to remove the jowls, mouth laxity, and issues related to gravity. I had a filler placed in marionette lines in June. I also had a neck lift 5 years ago. It helped with jowls for a bit, but now they are back. I intend to have several PS consults in 2014 for my face.

Answer: Facelift before 50 Facelift before 50 You are an excellent candidate for a well performed lower facelift. Facial aging varies from patient to patient, it is imperative that the surgeon carefully examine your face to individualize your surgery. A well executing facelift can produce a dramatically rejuvenating, and yet very natural result. In my practice I routinely perform facelift in patients in their 40’s. The results of a facelift in this age group lasts for many years. Interview a few surgeons with reputation for excellence in facial surgery. The office should be able to provide a large number of before and after photos of patients with similar facial aging as you have.

Answer: Sagging Jowls The lower face would benefit greatly from a deep plane facelift with platysmaplasty, some liposuction of the jowls, and a pre-jowl sulcus implant or at least fat grafting in this area to improve the mandibular rim. I would strongly conside a lower eyelid blepharoplasty to tighten the lid, elevate the muscle slightly, and remove a small amount of skin. Laser resurfacing would improve the overall skin envelope which has aged due to environmental and lifestyle stresses. Although this may seem like more surgery than you currently think you need, this procedure has significant longevity ( 10 years) and will significantly rejuvenate your face.Younger patients like yourself benefit greatly from traditional facelift surgery and should consider this as an alternative to mini facelift procedures.
