Asked By:fiifiitrixie in Kingston, Ontario, Canada

I’m 36 years old and very unhappy with the way my lower face has aged; what feels like prematurely. I want to remove the lines around my mouth as best as possible; as well as give my lower face some lift. I told myself I would wait until I was 40 to have a facelift of any kind; but now I’m wondering if I can wait that long or if it would be better to act preventatively. Is microneedling (not rf- don’t think I can afford to lose any volume) enough to hold me over for a few years and treat the lines effectively? Is it better to act preventatively and fer a facelift sooner rather than later? How many facelifts can one hsve in a lifetime? I don’t want to use fillers- what are the best options for me to achieve my goals ?
