My cheeks seem to be falling near the centre of my face, making me look aged. Am I a good candidate for a midface lift? (Photo)

Asked By:freesoul in Delray Beach, FL

My cheeks seem to be falling toward the center of my face, causing an aged look. I know I can get my face filled but I feel that placement of fat is just as impt as the absolute amt of volume. For example,even if an Olympic gymnast has very little fat in her face,the proportions and placement cause her to be read as a young person. I don't just want a fat face per se. My questions are: Q1:Am I a good candidate for a midface lift+fat transfer? Q2:Why does the face in the third pic 'read' as old?
