Facelift Disproportionately Fat Face?

July 19, 2009
Asked By:ccc in midwest

I have what I'd consider a very disproportionately fat face. I'm only 33 and thin yet the corners of my mouth are always turned down along with "marionette" lines. And my lower face is heavy. I have the puffy swollen cheek look of someone who just had dental surgery. When I pull the lower cheek skin back toward my ear it looks so much better. I know it's impossible to know for certain without a picture, but am I describing something that requires a Facelift to fix?
