I'm 68 yrs old & had a face lift 10 years ago. My face has drooped since then and I'd like to know what my options are? (photo)

You had some kind of face lift 10 years ago. You state it was called a quick lift. There is no academic equivalent for this procedure so it sounds more like a marketing tool. Because you are 10 years older since your last procedure, you have obviously continued to age and as a woman you have lost volume in your face and you have gravitational falling of facial soft tissues. In order to produce a natural looking facial rejuvenation,you need fillers to restore volume and possible surgical elevation of the fallen facial tissues.Don't over do it Be conservative.

I applaud you for continuing to seek rejuvenation and wanting to appear more like you feel at heart.  The good news is that you certainly can have a second (and/or third) lower facelift.  Regardless of what your first lift was called (Quicklift, Lifestyle Lift etc.), it is very normal to see a second procedure 10 years afterwards.  I would say that most women seeking a second facelift seek a lift about 10 years after their first one.  Just as it was on your first lift, it is of utmost importance that your surgeon is Board Certified and performs at least one facelift per week on average.  If he/she doesn't I would look for another surgeon that fits that qualification.  Based on your photos, I honestly do not think that any non-surgical treatment would benefit you.  A very nice, simple, lower facelift/necklift under local anesthesia and oral sedation (if you choose), can be performed to remove about a decade of age from your lower face.  Your recovery time should be under two weeks.  Good luck!

Patients who desire facial rejuvenation that is affordable, quick, and effective should consider the Lite-lift™. The LiteLift™ is an innovative facelift developed by board-certified plastic surgeons Dr. Larry Nichter and myself which benefits many male patients. The goal of the #LiteLift is to provide a less invasive natural looking option for both men and women desiring to refresh their appearance with less downtime and risks. The LiteLift® is a “real” facelift, which does address the underlying muscle, tissue and overlying skin.The technique requires limited incisions and takes a vertical lifting approach, in contrast to the traditional facelift, which requires extensive incisions and lifts or pulls the face towards the ears horizontally. The modern techniques used allow us to perform most LiteLift® procedures in the office under local anesthesia. Also, removing the risk of general anesthesia opens the door for more people to pursue facial surgery. All too often people do not move forward with undergoing the desires facelift surgery due to their overwhelming fear of the risks associated with general anesthesia.

This is a modified facelift that can be performed in the office with a local anesthetic and improve signs of aging around the neck, jawbone and lower face. These procedures are not "Thread-lifts" or "String-lifts". We do not use the "barbed" sutures employed in these other lifting operations. The Lite-lift™ uses longer lasting techniques that are discussed below. Because the incisions are limited, there is less bruising, swelling and healing time for most patients. Many patients can be back to work in one to two weeks looking rested and more youthful.The best candidates for #LiteLift are non-smoking patients 35-60 years old with stable skin elasticity, well-defined bone structure but showing early changes of the lower face and the neck. Older patients who cannot or do not wish to have a longer operation or general anesthetic can be improved with a Lite Lift™. All in all, Lite Lift™ surgery is individualized for each patient.
