Full Co2 Laser (Ultra Pulse Not Fractionated) with Sculptra After Recovery or Mid Lift with Fat Graft and Lighter Laser Later?

I have a very thin face and have lost a tremendous amount of volume in my cheeks in the last 4- 5 years. I also have some deep wrinkling (vertical lines) on my cheeks and around my eyes. The cosmetic surgeon suggested full face CO2 and a follow up with 6 vials of sculptra. The plastic surgeon suggested a mid lift and fat transfer to my cheeks followed by a fractionated later. Both agree on amount of sculptra needed to bring volume back. Both seem to be very knowledgable and skilled .
