Question
Answer Header & Date
Answer Snippet
How can I correct this fold or hollow crease under my left eye area?
Melt your filler
Mar 31, 2023
Undereye filler is a tricky thing – the hill under your left eye is likely residual filler and should be melted. Then reassess with a clean slate.
I am confused – would I benefit more from a facelift or fillers?
Facelift with fat transfer
Mar 31, 2023
Full disclosure: the surgeon likes to operate, while the medspa likes to inject, hence they’re selling you want they like to do.
From your pics, it looks like cheek volume would benefit you the most. The deep plane facelift surgery would address some of the cheek volume by repositioning the larger fat pads upward and back toward your cheekbone, but fat transfer at the same time can really help your cheeks be the highlight!The benefits of fat transfer over filler is that you pay for the…
My face looks like it’s melting at age 31 – what can I do to fix this?
Neck lift & chin augmentation
Mar 31, 2023
Patients with concerns like these are great candidates for a deep neck lift through a single incision under the chin. The deeper tissues of the neck, including fat, muscle, and salivary glands, can drop even at a young age. Also consider a chin implant, which can lengthen the jawline and make the neck angle look more crisp!
May I be a good candidate for a facelift?
Don’t do it yet!
Mar 31, 2023
I see many young patients who say “droopy” or “saggy.” If you’ve had recent weight loss or are thin build to begin with, a subtle volumizer would be a great option. At this point, consider PLLA (Sculptra) to help you with your concern. Likely you’ll need more than one treatment, and it takes a while to see measurable results. Good news is it can last a long time and your skin looks even better!
55 y/o concerned about hanging skin in neck, jowls, upper eyelids. Which technique would work best for m
Potential for a great outcome!
Mar 31, 2023
Suture placement is all about tension. When we remove skin, we make sure not to remove too much; any gap in the skin when you close with stitches can lead to tension and poor scarring.Surgically, it’s about repositioning your tissues with a deep plane facelift and necklift to help the saggy neck and jowls, as well as cheeks. Upper blepharoplasty +/- a temporal or lateral browlift would really make your eyes shine! For your skin, CO2 laser would help with your skin quality.
Should I just get facelift? I’ll be 31 in a few months
Less is better esp while you are young!
Mar 31, 2023
Enjoy your beauty in your youth! Re: your upper face, your brow position is not low. Perhaps your tox dose is not optimized, or you metabolize it faster than avg.For your fine lines, there is no one and done treatment – good home skincare, some chemical peel or laser, nothing too intense.For your neck lines, tox and/or hyperdiluted Radiesse treatment with subcision of neck lines (again not a one and done treatment) would be a great place to start.
I’d like to know if it is safe to get subcision after a whole facelift?
Depends on the issue and what you are trying to achieve
Mar 31, 2023
I am assuming that you have healed more or less completely after facelift surgery.While surgery addresses deeper anatomy to reposition your tissues to a more youthful position, the skin and superficial tissues may benefit from adjunct procedures before and/or after your operation. Subcision with injection of biostimulators after surgery (wait at least 6 months after surgery) can help build collagen in the dermis and superficial tissues if skin laxity is the issue.
Unhappy with neck lift results & would like to know if there is a solution?
Deeper neck anatomy
Mar 31, 2023
It is likely that the issues lie in the deep neck structures behind the platysma muscle. These include the fat behind the platysma, digastric muscles, and submandibular glands, which can be noticeable if surgery was performed only on the platysma and superficial fat. For people with skinnier necks, it can be even more noticeable.
Male – Full facelift/deep plane or mini facelift + fat injections is sufficient?
Deep plane is the answer!
Mar 31, 2023
Men, esp with changing cheek volume, are great candidates for extended deep plane facelift with necklift. There is a good chance that the upper cheek volume would be much improved even without fat transfer. Deep plane surgery is the best way to address the midface, and it allows smoother rejuvenation along the lower face and neck as well.
Do I have pseudo “Double Eyelids”?
Quite common!
Mar 31, 2023
I see many patients who have this same concern. The anatomy of your eyelid skin, fat, and levator can change over time. The levator is somewhat attached to the eyelid skin to make that crease. It’s not a super strong crease or “double eyelid,” but it looks nice and natural.
Can you perform incisional double eyelid surgery without removing skin?
Don’t do anything more!
Mar 31, 2023
You are young, and you have beautiful eyes. Enjoy them! Any further work would only increase the chance of a less beautiful outcome.
Why do I only have double eyelids from certain angles?
Yes it is possible!
Mar 31, 2023
It is not rare to notice this – I see patients with this concern. The anatomy of your eyelid skin, fat, and levator can change over time. A conservative DES (likely no fat removal and little to no skin removal) would yield a consistent double lid appearance and improve the heavy feeling over your eyes and lashes.
Crease formed over monolid makes eye area uncomfortable. Is there a procedure for this?
Interesting progression – Yes it’s possible
Mar 31, 2023
It is not rare to hear this from patients. The anatomy of the eyelid skin, fat, and levator can change over time. A very conservative DES (likely no fat removal and little to no skin removal) would prevent the skin just over your lashes from hanging over and causing the heavy feeling.
Upper and lower eyelid surgery. Will dissolvable stitches leave a scar even if they are placed under the
Possible but very unlikely
Mar 31, 2023
Upper eyelid scarring is usually very forgiving, even for people with darker skin. I would actually use non-absorbable sutures that you remove 5-7 days after surgery, as these do not cause a reaction with your skin and tissues.
Would a double eyelid revision deliver my desired results? Too much fat / skin removed during initial pr
Tough but room for improvement
Mar 31, 2023
For transparency, revision surgery is always tougher than primary surgery, and the outcome is more variable.To lower the crease, you need a second lower incision with wide release of the scar of the existing crease. You may need multiple procedures +/- skin graft and/or fat transfer.You have beautiful eyes. Sorry for what you’re going through.
