I'm 25 and have pretty full cheeks that give me pronounced nasolabial folds with deep lines. Permanent solutions?

Question

I'm 25 and I have pretty full cheeks that give me pronounced nasolabial folds along with deep lines by the corners of my lips that look somewhat like dimples. When i lift my cheek up with my finger I feel it helps soften the lines. Would a cheek lift, or any facelift for that matter be able to give me similar effects to soften the lines and lift them up? Or any other permanent solutions that aren't fillers? Thnx

I recommend fillers to soften the nasolabial folds themselves and also lift around the mouth and cheeks to build underlying anatomical support. In our practice we combine Sculptra with other fillers "layered" on top and lasers, skin tightening treatments such as Thermage, Fractora, and Renuvion (J Plasma), thread lifting,  and peels to get the most conservative, natural look. I suggest seeing a facial sculpting expert for a formal consultation. Best, Dr. Emer

Based on the 2 posted photos the treatment/operation you are describing is an anterior mini face lift with SMAS plication. Fee $4,000. Using the word "permanent" results can never apply! You will continue to age and any results will start to relax after 2-3 years if not sooner. Best to virtual consult with...
