Question:
I am a 56 year old female who had a mid facelift about 7 months ago. I’ve noticed some of my skin still sags around my nose, is there another alternative to help fix this problem?
Answer:
A mid facelift is an excellent way to decrease the appearance of the nasolabial folds. I have found that in cases where the nasolabial folds are extremely deep it is difficult to completely correct this area using only a mid facelift. I suggest the placement of dermal fillers, such as Perlane, Juvederm, and Radiesse, or the use of facial fat injection techniques to help fill in the nasolabial folds when mid facelift has been performed. Dermal fillers can be performed in the office and there is no downtime associated with their use.
