Im a 45 year old male. Naturally thin. In good health. And a past smoker, and sun worshipper. After a year of taking great care of myself I have decided to look into a facelift to help refresh my appearence even if only modestly. My main concern is the area of laxity all around the mouth. Ideally id hope to see some modest improvmemt through a mini or cheek lift. If I press two fingers on my temples by my ears and move it up maybe 3/4 a inch it seems to give reasonble improvment in the area of the face from nose corners and mouth corners (mid?) Which is the area of concern. Though admitedly I can play around this way even from lower on the face and see improvments. I also seem to take a much better selfie laying down than standing up. Ideally there will be a slight softening of the abrupt countors of my face (example mouth area to lower cheek etc). I've spoke with one surgeon but want more input.
