I am 62 years old. My skin is good with no wrinkling but my neck sags and I have deep lines on each side of my mouth... I smile a lot and that seems to help but I'd like to know of a way to lift and tighten the areas mention without undergoing a major face lift. Thank you

You can try an injectable filler or free fat graft to smoothen out the nasolabial fold and jowl. This can also help you delay a facelift to a later date some years down the road. In some patients specifically those with a week chin/jaw line a pre-jowl chin implant can decrease the jowling.
