I recently had a PS tell my lower face complaints are in a "gray zone"; my deformities are noticeable but not dramatic enough to merit a lower facelift. He also said I would likely be unhappy with face/neck liposuction because of the potential for more loose skin. He said possibly Ultherapy but that he was never impressed with the results. Are there any possibilities for me? Through surgical or non-surgical means? I'm willing to do more than one procedure if it means good results over time.
