Do I need a lift? Or is a larger sub glandular implant the best choice for me?

J
Journey20Mar 24, 2020

I've seen a few drs and I'm trying to make my final decision. All drs said I didn't need a lift but one dr suggested I may need a donut lift , or maybe putting a larger sub glandular implant could do the job since I'm not interested in scars from a lift
