Cheek Lift or Cheek Implants? (photo)

I am 27, I have malar hypoplasia. I have deep nasolabial folds and chubby face. What can make me look better? Cheek lift or cheek implants or combination of both? I had a jaw surgery to correct my jaw hypoplasia. After the surgery my nasolabial folds deepened and the contrast between a heavy lower face and saggy upper face (cheeks) became more obvious. Thank You
