Face lift

I had a lower face and neck lift 4 months ago but I am not really happy with the results. I am 63 y old, after the surgery I still have a marionette lines and the jowls is a little saggy. I was thinking to have a Silhouette treads to hep lift a little bit more the skin toward the ears and a lip lift. What do u think?

Most facelifts do not improve the marionette lines well. In fact, those that do tend to make the person look unnatural. Fillers or fat grafting are the best way to treat the marionette lines well. Yours look deep so it may take more than one syringe, and perhaps a syringe of calcium hydroxyapatate deep for support and a hylaluronic acid filler more superficial. The fillers can also be used to camouflage the jowl although that the right jowl is an area of concern. Most studies have shown the threads have a high incidence of complications and only give improvement for a year.

You need a full SMAS facelift, Whether the picture posted is before or after..

We need more pictures to give an an opinion.

You have the right idea. Tweaking your result can improve it. I recently performed thread lift and lip lift for a dissatisfied facelift patient from another surgeon. Computerized 3 dimensional imaging may help visualize proposed results. see an experienced ASAPS board certified plastic surgeon. Good luck and stay safe...

You need to wait at least 9 month to undergo surgery again. Poor results.
