Lifting Corners of the Mouth by Mid-face Lift?

May 31, 2009
Asked By:TJ in TX in San Antonio

How much will a Mid-face lift raise the corners of the mouth? I would like to avoid the scars of a corner of the mouth lift. And I have sunken cheeks. So it might kill 2 birds with 1 stone.P.S. How bad are the scars from a corner of the mouth lift? I can't wear lipstick cause I'm a guy.
