Posted under Lower Facelift q&a

Does a lower facelift change the natural smile and dimples? Does it fix marionette lines?

delilah5
I am 45. I am trying to decide on what procedure I will be having for jowls, marionette lines and loose skin on my neck, under the chin. I would like a lower facelift, but I'm worried it will change my natural smile and dimples. Also, what happens to the marionette lines with the lower facelift? Do they go horizontal? I don't want a mid facelift at my age, maybe later, only lower for now. But I'm concerned that a lower lift won't be enough to fix the marionette lines. I've had fillers, no help.
