MACS lift
I agree with what has been posted here before about the need to see photographs of you in order to direct better how to help you. Remember that the MACS lift is a very limited procedure due to the small incisions that you need to do and you are only depending on one suture to hold the lift on each area. A mini-lift or a Facelift may be a better alternative in your case for a revision. Please consult a board certified Facial Plastic Surgeon.

I have done facelifting for 35 years and would have to see photos and probably examine a face for tightness, fat loss, texture, etc. See an experienced revision facelift surgeon for evaluation.

Surgical changes
Your situation is complex as the degree of severity is hard to understand without photos and a consultation. You have mentioned 3 distinct problems which will require a skilled plastic surgeon to correct. Of the 3 issues, volume correction is the simplest and can be done with fillers in an office setting or fat grafting in the OR. Asymmetrically pulled skin will require a surgical procedure. 2.5 years after surgery you may have enough laxity of the facial skin to redrape it and...
