Dynamic lines nasolabial folds filler?

RHA fillers
Mar 7, 2023

You have an excellent question and RHA fillers are indeed one of the few fillers indicated for dynamic lines. They can certainly help even when the lines are not visible at rest and by reducing the depth of the fold they may even help prevent deeper lines to some degree over time. For the nasolabial folds, we have to be careful not to add too much volume if you don't have depression in these areas at rest, as this can make the face in this area look "puffy" or unnatural.

Mini Facelift - would I be a good candidate?

Minilift
May 1, 2022

If you were to choose a facelift I think a minilift or short incision facelift would be a good choice if you are looking to improve the jowl area. If you chose to extend the incision behind the ear (it is more hidden than the minilift incision in front of the ear anyway) you would be able to see more results in the anterior neck area as well. In the view from the right you can see some vertical wrinkles in the middle of the neck and these may not be treated very well without extending the...

Marionette lines are causing yeast infections. What procedure, if any , will eliminate these lin

Marionette line treatments
May 1, 2022

The Marionette lines along the corners of the mouth are problematic in that they attract moisture from the corners of the mouth and the deep folds retain that moisture making a perfect environment for yeast. Treatments include fillers injected into the subdermal and superficial subcutaneous plane to fill them in. Given the depth of the folds in your case, facelift would help to treat the jowl area and help to retract some of the excess skin in that area as well. The best treatment would be a...

Chest and neck a mess - what is the most affordable and effective treatment?

Neck and chest treatments
May 1, 2022

Options to consider would be Intense Pulsed Light therapy which is relatively inexpensive and can help with small uneven blood vessels and pigmentation changes. Radiofrequency microneedling treatments would help improve skin fullness and decrease fine wrinkling by increasing collagen production, etc. Injections of filler material like Sculptra may help but it is a large area and would be more painful and possible uneven depending on the injection pattern.

What fillers will enhance my face features?

Improving facial proportions
Dec 16, 2021

It appears that the filler in your lips is very adequate in the upper lip but proportionately I would add more filler to the lower lip to achieve more balance. I would be very careful when placing filler or fat grafting to the lower lids as this can result in excessive swelling and puffiness. I would first be sure that the lower lid changes are not resulting from allergies or underlying medical issues. I think you should consider some additional filler in the cheekbone areas to accent this...

Types of facelifts longevity?

Short-scar facelifts - how long do they last?
Sep 26, 2021

The incision used for a facelift is considered short-incision usually if it does not extend behind the ear into the hairline. Less access means less dramatic results and usually less longevity but other factors such as weight and age can be factors. The incision is not the only thing that is important to the longevity and results but usually a short-incision facelift involves much less dissection, fever sutures, and one would expect less longevity. In general, these patient usually end up...

I have sagging on my neck under my chin. Would I be a candidate for facelift or PDO threads? (Ph

Facelift or PDO threads
Sep 26, 2021

PDO threads are most useful for subtle correction of sagging or loose skin and multiple sutures will reposition tissues temporarily but they are not permanent. In your photos I see that you have quite a bit of excess skin in the area under the chin. The gold standard for treating that degree of excess tissue in that location is a facelift. Although invasive, it will offer you the most rewarding and longer-lasting results. The extra skin has to go somewhere, and facelift removes it, whereas...
