I would recommend getting your facelift first. After you see the results of that procedure, it will be easier to release the pitted acne scars. I also recommend volume augmentation to boost your cheek area, then proceed with fraxel laser resurfacing treatments to smooth out your skin.
Dear polinterest,The acne scars will likely require multiple treatments and may be able to be done at the same time as a facelift depending on the location and depthPost-operatively, you will likely need a few (2-5) microneedling sessions to break up the scars and improve their appearanceBest regards,Nima Shemirani
