Want jowels lifted, 59 yrs. old. what procedure would have least amount of downtime? i work full-time.

Yes but limited: A face lift is the gold standard to correct jowling and create a better neck and jawline contour. The down time is about 2 weeks. There are some skin tightening devices like ulthera, which has minimal to no down time; but has limitations

PrecisionTx: Smartlipo / precision tx: a laser based treatment manufactured by cynosure, in which a small incision is made at the base of the earlobe, fat is gently removed from the jowels and the laser causes additional skin tightening. Although this will not substitute a facelift if you have significant skin laxity, it will have a much quicker recovery. To find a local surgeon, go to www.Cynosure.Com.

Facelift: A facelift does the best to address jowls in people over 50. You would need a consult from a facelift surgeon to discuss of any other options are feasible.

Lower facelift: A lower face lift would be the best option with one week of downtime. Or you can do fillers with no downtime. You will get fillers in front of and behind the jowls to camouflage them.

Jowls and downtime: A good mini-lift under local anesthesia by an experienced facelift surgeon should not cause any more than 3-4 days of down time. Thereafter almost regular activities can begin even with sutures in.

Facelift: At this point, a facelift remains the gold standard when it comes to treatment of the lower face, jowl, and neck aging changes. Be careful about the “latest and greatest” procedures being offered; the old saying applies (if it sounds too good to be true it is).

Facelift: A facelift rejuvenates the face by repostitioning sagging tissues and removing excessive skin. While resurfacing procedures can tighten and improve the skin, and ultrasound procedures can tighten the underlying tissues, and injectable fillers can volumize the face, none of these procedures can accomplish what a surgical facelift does.Your best bet would be to have your face evaluated by a board ce
