Have you looked at Brigitte Bardot today?

Yes, she's 91 years old and looks like what you would imagine a 91 year old would look like. Do you seriously think that once you make it to 75+ that you'll be fooling anyone into thinking you are significantly younger because of fillers/lasers/botox?

Deep plane, baby! Game changer.

I don’t mind my marionette lines, but my collapsing jawline is just further emphasizing my already pointy chin and big nose. My side profile is going from not great to awful. I left those features as nature intended, but will not hesitate to get a lower mini lift when hair styling can’t hide it anymore. And hooray for bob cuts.

Gracefully means with procedures and interventions.

Just doing nothing is aging naturally, not gracefully.

Wrong. It means taking care of yourself, including and up to nutrition, exercise, skincare, and possibly lasers. It does not include fillers or surgery.

Arbitrary line. I am not pro- 'laser/surgery/filler face' - have actually never done any of it/not sure I would, but there is nothing graceful about not taking every opportunity to look/act/feel better than you currently do.

Fillers on the cheeks (tastefully done and in moderation) can sometimes help in conjunction with the former treatments. Note that all these non surgical treatments are heavily provider dependent. Many will claim they don't work because they may have had them performed with a provider who is not well experienced in them.

For more moderate/ severe laxity, the solution would be a deep plane facelift.

My advice would be to go to a plastic surgeon who owns a medspa or employs nurses who provide non surgical treatment.

You've probably heard the expression "to a hammer, everything is a nail" . If you go to a derm/ medspa, they will tend to recommend non surgical treatments even if they won't provide you with the best solution because that is all they can provide. If you go to a plastic surgeon who does not do anything non surgical, they might be too quick to recommend surgery.

Hope this helps.

very helpful. Any recommendations for such practices in/around locations from McLean to Reston areas?
