Thank you for your question! A mini face lift usually will tighten the jawline. It's a fast recovery; swelling usually starts to peak and subside starting on day 3. Sutures stay in a couple of weeks, but people usually feel well enough to return to work after 5 days.

I think the best treatment for this area is the Ultherapy. It uses ultrasound technology to go deep in the skin to provide a lifting result as well skin textural improvement. The end result is that it lifts the face and jowls and it helps to redefine the jawline.

Deep FX Fractional Resurfacing -1 answer
I had deep FX fractional resurfacing on my peri-oral area and forehead 5 weeks ago. My forehead has healed, but the region around my peri-oral area is still discolored (somewhere between gray & pink). Will this go away or is it permanent? I expected a 2-3 wk recovery.
