Facelift and/or fillers with melasma. Will it cause the melasma to flare? (Photo)

Asked By:Shannon1820 in Ashley, Ohio

I'm 44 & thin. I have nasolabial folds, significant hollowing in my cheeks & under my eyes, sagging jowls & very loose skin above my jaw line. I would like to have treatment to correct some/all of the issues but concerned because I have melasma on my cheeks, between my brows & above my upper lip. Just recently got it under control so I'm extremely concerned that if I have facelift &/or fillers it will cause the melasma to flare. I would greatly appreciate professional opinions on best options.
