I am 18 years old with a sagging, jowly face. What are my options?

MadisonLanee
When I was 15 years old I had a severe sport injury that caused a mini stroke and resulted in facial sagging. I have deep lines over my mouth, heavy jowls, and my eyes and cheeks are dragged down. This has been very distressing; people often think I'm in my 30's- I'm 18! Dealing with this causes a great deal of anxiety. What are my options? It seems I would need a very dramatic full facelift to reclaim my youth, when I pull back my skin in the mirror.
