What happen to the cheek fat pads with aging? Do they drop/sag? is it just volume loss? Both?
What happen to the cheek fat pads with aging? Do they drop/sag? is it just volume loss? Both?
May 9, 2020
Hello. Thank you for your question. Aging of the face is a complex process that involves progressive loss of facial fat and bone volume and progressive laxity of skin and and supporting connective tissue that leads to sagging in the most dependent areas, including the neck, jawline, marionette lines and nasolabial folds. Each individual is unique in the progression of these aging changes with some demonstrating more laxity than volume loss, while vice versa for others...
What are the most effective procedures available to me to improve/lift my bottom-heavy face and sag
What are the most effective procedures available to me to improve/lift my bottom-heavy face and saggy skin?
May 9, 2020
Hello. Thank you for your question. You appear to have laxity in the lower face and neck. Although facelift is the best procedure for addressing these issues, you are a bit young to pursue this type of treatment. You could likely benefit from a more conservative neck lift, which involves liposuction of the neck and jawline and tightening of the platysma muscle in the midline of the neck through a small incision under the chin. Fillers or fat...
Would you recommend a skin only facelift for a young patient?
Would you recommend a skin only facelift for a young patient?
Aug 4, 2019
Hello. Thank you for your question. First, I would never recommend a skin-only facelift for any patient regardless of age, as it will not hold up over time. Any properly performed facelift should include lifting and suspending the SMAS in the face and the platysma muscle in the neck to contour the neck and jawline in a youthful way that will last over time. Second, I have never seen a patient in their 20's that needed a facelift, so I suspect that it is extremely...
Is having face lift every 10 years bad?
Is having face lift every 10 years bad?
Aug 4, 2019
Hello. Thank you for your question. I think that it is impossible for you to predict that you will need a facelift every 10 years. Every patient is different in regards to the longevity of facelift results and the desire or need for secondary or tertiary procedures. Properly performed facelift surgery should provide a very natural look, regardless of how many previous facelifts they have undergone. Although most patients probably don't have more than...
What kind of local anaesthesia is usually used for doing blepharoplasty? And what kind of oral seda
What kind of local anesthesia is usually used for doing blepharoplasty? And what kind of oral sedation or IV sedation is used?
Jul 28, 2019
Hello. Thank you for your question. Upper and lower blepharoplasty procedures can safely be performed using local anesthesia alone or in combination with oral or IV sedation. It is my opinion that general anesthesia is not necessary for these procedures, but is certainly also an option. The ideal anesthesia recommendation for each individual patient should be made by the primary surgeon in consultation with the patient. The most common local...
What else can be done to improve angle between chin and neck after a face and corset platysmaplasty
What else can be done to improve angle between chin and neck after a face and corset platysmaplasty?
Jul 27, 2019
Hello. Thank you for your question. You are very early in the recovery from your recent facelift. It is absolutely normal to still have some swelling in the neck at only 3 weeks postop. The swelling will continue to gradually improve with time. It can take several months to see the final results. I would encourage you to be patient with the healing process and would not even contemplate any type of revision surgery, which will likely be unnecessary, until...
Do I need a facelift or would a chin implant, filler and fat grafting be more effective?
Do I need a facelift or would a chin implant, filler and fat grafting be more effective?
Jul 27, 2019
Hello. Thank you for your question. Based upon the pictures that you provided, it appears that you have some laxity of the skin and soft tissues of the lower face and neck, some volume loss in the midface, and drooping of the brow. Your chin appears to have adequate projection. I feel that you could benefit from facelift, brow lift, and fat grafting to the midface. The facelift would include liposuction of the neck and platysmaplasty to tighten the platysma...

Jul 27, 2019
Hello. Thank you for your question. There are multiple techniques available for lifting the brow and/or forehead. The choice of technique depends on the anatomy and goals of the individual patient and the experience of the physician. If you are simply wanting to tighten the skin and improve forehead wrinkles without significant elevation of the brow, this can be best accomplished by performing a pretrichial subcutaneous forehead lift. With this technique, the...

Hello. Thank you for your question. Rejuvenation of the area under the eyes can be accomplished using various techniques, depending on the anatomy of the individual patient and the experience of the treating physician. The factors that lead to aging changes of the under-eye region of the face must be understood, in order to understand the treatment options. Some people develop bulging of fat from around the globe of the eye into the lower eyelid as they age that can...

4 months post-op facelift very unhappy. Jaw line large and cheeks very indented, any suggestions?
Jul 7, 2019
Hello. Thank you for your question. It is difficult to make any assessment of your results with the one picture that you provided. It would be helpful to see before and after pictures from multiple views (front and both sides) that show the entire face and neck. However, based on the picture provided, it appears that you have significant volume loss in the midface that has not been addressed with your procedure. A facelift is primarily indicated...
Will PDO threads pose an issue with a lower mini-facelift?
Will PDO threads pose an issue with a lower mini-facelift?
Jul 7, 2019
Hello. Thank you for your question. I am not so surprised that you did not achieve a significant result from the PDO thread lift. Thread lift procedures have been around for a long time. These procedures were mostly abandoned by reputable surgeons several years ago, due to unsatisfactory results and complications from the permanent sutures that were used in the past. Thread lifts are making a resurgence in popularity now with the introduction of absorbable...

Use of steroids to reduce swelling after facelift
Jul 7, 2019
Hello. Thank you for your question. I would suggest following the recommendations of your primary surgeon, as they know your case and medical history, and should be making recommendations in your best interest based on their experience. Swelling is absolutely expected following facelift, and can vary from one patient to another. The swelling usually reaches it's peak around postoperative day 3 or 4, and will then diminish fairly quickly over the following 2...

What should I get to improve my jawline, neck and face?
Jul 7, 2019
Hello. Thank you for your question. From the pictures that you provided, it appears that you have some laxity of the skin and soft tissues of the lower face and neck causing sagging of the neck and jawline with blunting of the angle of the neck and formation of jowls. It is difficult to assess the midface from the pictures that you provided. It is my opinion that you could certainly benefit from a lower face and neck lift, which would include...
Do internal facelift stitches dissolve?
Do internal facelift stitches dissolve?
May 19, 2019
Hello. Thank you for your question. Some surgeons use absorbable sutures and some surgeons use permanent sutures when performing facelift. It is simply a matter of surgeon preference. I personally prefer absorbable sutures, because permanent sutures can sometimes cause a localized inflammatory response, called a suture granuloma, that may occur even several years after surgery and may require removal of the offending suture. There are different types of...
Can facelift swelling recur after it's healed?
Can facelift swelling recur after it's healed?
May 19, 2019
Hello. Thank you for your question. The healing process after facelift actually takes several months, during which time there may be some residual fluctuating swelling. Certainly increasing activity, drinking alcohol, or eating a salty diet may exacerbate the swelling somewhat. However, it seems a little unusual to see a dramatic increase in swelling more than a couple of months out from surgery. For that reason, I would suggest that you communicate with your...
