What can cause the lines all down the side of my face when I smile? And what can be done to improve it? (photos)

September 23, 2016
Asked By:Caellyn65 in Dallas, TX

I had a lower facelift in February which really helped the area directly under my chin. I am disappointed as I was told it would address the mid-face too, but it didn't. Do I look like I need another facelift? Mid-face or cheek lift? If so how soon after my liwer fsce lift can I get one? Do I just need more volume and maybe some botox? I feel like there is still too much fat in my lower cheeks. Do I need buccal fat removal? Liposuction? I'm looking fir suggestions on how to address this.
