I always had very low and saggy cheeks, what type of procedure would rejuvenate my whole face ? (Photo)

Question

I've been highly considering a face lift for years now, I always had saggy cheeks and nasolabial lines. I’ve had some fillers it did look better but did not really fix the sagging. Should I do something more drastic even for my young age ?

Thank you for asking your question in this forum. I believe that our duty as surgeons is to know when to say "no." You have absolutely no reason to seek a facelift! Your skin quality and elasticity are excellent. I am sure that others will agree. Please remember that patients often see themselves very critically, as you are viewing yourself.

The procedure that would improve your appearance is a mid-face lift.  This can be performed via different approaches, but the goal is to lift your mid-face or cheeks.  This has a much longer duration then repeated fillers.

Gary M. Horndeski, MD · Answer

You would benefit from fat transfers to the cheek bones.  You may also benefit from a lip lift.  A lip lift does 4 things: shortens the distance between your nose and upper lip, increases the mucosa of the upper lip, increases the incisor show and pulls up the corners.

Best Wishes,

Gary Horndeski, M.D.
