Can mini-facelift/S-lift at 34 restore cheeks to their position 10 years ago without an unnatural appearance? (Photos)

Vivid860265Feb 3, 2024
I'm considering an S-lift for sagging in my lower face and was informed it involves adjusting connective tissue. My main concern is the longevity and naturalness of the results. Can an S-lift effectively restore my cheeks to their position from ten years ago without giving a temporary or unnatural appearance?

A mini facelift primarily helps the jawline, so if that is your main concern, you will see a nice result. If your neck bothers you, a more advanced procedure would be needed.
