I am 66 yrs old and weigh 150 lbs. I have lost 140 lbs. in the last 2.5 years and have sagging skin all over. I would like to start with a facelift. I am healthy, except for severe sleep apnea. The operation is somewhere between 4-6 hours under general anesthesi. My question is will this be safe for me ? Thank you.
I tried laser hair removal but it does not seem to be effective for my facial hair, I am a man, it seems that my beard hair is in some parts a bit stubborn I am looking into electrolysis to remove unwanted hair from my beard My question is: -Would doing electrolysis make a facelift more difficult in the future? Meaning, Could doing electrolysis create any type of injury under the skin that makes a facelift more difficult or it makes it difficult to get good results when performing the surgery? I read that people who use sculptra as a type of filler can make theirs futures facelifts more complicated to achieve good results, I am just wondering if electrolysis could somehow make a facelift difficult to perform or get good results It may seem like a silly question. I just want to make sure that it would not interfere with the surgery results in the future
Hello, I have consulted with double-board certified facial plastic surgeons for a facelift. One, in particular, performs most of his in-office using tumescent anesthesia (TA). This is appealing to me in an effort to avoid gen'l anesthesia. I am eager to hear opinions on TA for deep plane facelift: Pros & cons? What questions should I be asking? Additionally, I am interested in a brow lift as a separate surgery. Is there an ideal order in which I should have them performed. Thank you for your insights.
I am 9 months post op deep plane facelift and I am facing some problems on both sides of my head: - my cheeks loos volume and they look pressed in - I have small cones (marked yellow) of the akin where the incision ends. They look terrible - around those cones I have a scar tissue under my skin, it feels like the skin is literraly glued to the muscle What kind of treatment can I do to resolve the scar tissue? Will it help the cones to dissapear or do I have to have them removed by a surgeon? Why do I have the holes in my cheeks? Looks like something was removed during the surgery I had full cheeks before the facelift. Someone recommended the shockwave therapy to me to break the scar tissue but wont it breakdown even more fatt in my cheeks?
im currently 49, I received sculptra first time Sept 2024. I developed a small eye bag about a month after. my injector told me it was aging. I waited till our next appointment in Jan 2025, and she recommended co2 laser for the eye bag which I didnt do, and she didnt attribute it to anyting she had done.,we did the second round of scupltra, within a month I was assymetrical, very puffy on one side, brow ptosis which im unsure how this happened. and the skin under the bag has hollowed out more. she tells me that there is no way scupltra has done this. I what I want to know is when I can get a deep plane lift. im concerned about I consider it now to be recontructive surgery. im afraid the scupltra will react or the surgery cant be done due to adhesions. can I still get a good result now and how long do I need to wait?
Hi, I'm in my early 40's, I've always had genetically long drooping asymmetrical cheeks since I was I was younger. I have deepening Nasolabial folds in my 40's now that bother me which I have had filler twiice for. I don't have much skin laxity or jowls yet. My primary interest is to raise the actually cheek muscle to a higher position. Would deep plane face lift be best for this then? As I have read although SMAS is less invasive, it only lifts sagging cheek fat. I have gotten differing opinions when I have consulted. One said, I am a candidate for endoscopic mid face lift deep plane approach. Another said endoscopic mid face lift is rarely ever true deep plane and results fall in 1 year, so recommends mini face lift instead. Another recommended full face lift via high smas approach. Can someone tell me which type will be best to raise my drooping long cheek muscles?
Hi. Im very unhappy about my midface are . go fat graft before but not helped me at all. My midface looks saggy. One doctor recommended deep plane mini facelift, and add more fat to the cheek . And another one suggested midface lift . Please could give me your opinion? I would like to make a choice this year and I would like to do it right. ( im 34Y old) I think deep plane face lift would be the best choice but Im too young for that .
I was under the impression I needed incisions in front of and behind ears as well as under the chin for a deep plane face and neck lift. However, someone suggested because I am thin, my neck can be significantly lifted and tightened by the same incisions around the ears. Thoughts?
