26 is Too Young for Mid Face Lift?

brianandrew
The past couple years my cheeks have fallen, leaving my under eyes partially hallowed and folds around my mouth. My cheeks are now beginning to rest around my mouth and jowl area. I feel much older. I decided to get filler (radiesse) in my cheeks, which I fell helped 20%. Radiesse only attempted to fill in my upper face but ignores the new mass that is my lower face. Is a midface lift is what I need? It puts the pad (my cheeks) back on my cheekbones and out of my lower face. Am I a candidate?
