Mid-face skin laxity and sagging. Would anything other than facelift provide moderate results? (Photo)

jim240
Asking again as I didn’t get many responses initially. I want to address my face laxity (mid-face, nasolabial folds, under eye area). Ideally, I would like to tighten up these areas so that there is less sag. I’ve read about procedures related to microneedling, radiofrequency (sometimes combined) to improve collagen/elastin, that might provide moderate results. I’m challenged sorting through options and do not want to lose facial fat. Would anything provide moderate results other than facelift?
