I'm only 37 and I had a mini-facelift (s-lift), it was around $6,500. It helped a lot with jowling, my neck and my overall profile. I'm not super happy with the nasolabial/malar aspect of the surgery. I don't feel my malar area was helped much, but it did pull it up a bit.
I tanned my heiney off and was also a smoker for a long time, hence the early aging.
I would suggest a mini-lift, and try to get them to add on a cheek suspension for free or reduced price. they just have to go further up into the temporal scalp and pull up the malar pad with a long suture. I think they can also do suture plication, which also isn't a full blown cheek lift. This could save you some money. You could say you had a friend who had it added on from her surgeon, try to bargain (but stick with a decent surgeon).
I think they are absolutely gorgeous. They look completely natural. Great fit on your frame for a larger size implant. I would be in heaven if I were you!
I continued to have nice improvement with the device, but decided to bump up to the DPL panel device. It's excellent, and more time efficient than the hand held instrument. I ended up getting a great deal on the DPL on ebay. I think it has more infared capacity, and also blinks on a frequency (but it can't be seen with the naked eye). Wow, it's awesome. Pores are smaller, skin texture is smoother, and skin tone is lighter (sallow skin continues to lighten). I'm a believer!
I just bought one of these on ebay for $150, so excited to try it out. I have the Evis Platinum red light (purchased at TJ Maxx on closeout), and that thing did wonders for my skin (cleared up diffuse redness, pore size shrunk be about 75%). Best of luck to you with your new device : )
