Am I too young for a mini lift? 31 year old (Photo)

November 24, 2024
Asked By:sturley93 in Los Angeles, California

I'm 31 & really unhappy with my lower face and how I'm aging. I have dark shadows/marionette lines that I can't get rid of. I've done facial rebalancing w filler in cheeks/jaw, microneedling, & botox in DAO & platysma muscles. I feel like it's just from the way my mouth rests & it pulls down. I would like a mini lift but 1 doctor I consulted with said I wasn't a candidate. He suggested ProfoundRF but also I've heard of PDO threads? Help pls!!
