Is a lower/mid facelift right for me? (Photo)

At least from the photos provided, the upper cheek and chin areas are not the particular problem areas, so no surprise that fillers did not solve the problem there. I stopped using threads quite a few years ago owing to its high complication rates and disappointingly short-lived results. So, again no surprises there. And chemical peels and microneedling are better suited to treating superficial color and texture issues of the "fabric" of the skin, so there would have been no significant improvement of any kind expected from either of these approaches.
From the photos, the major issue lies in volume deficit in the lower third of the face. If that is indeed the case then the appropriate choice of a robust, HA Contouring filler in the hands of an experienced, board certified cosmetic dermatologist filler expert injected properly in the lower third of the face would likely not only create a more desirable, gradual oval shape to the entire face, but would likely secondarily improve the smile lines, as well. Hope this helps and best of luck.

Based on your nice post of photos, I recommend an in person or virtual consultation. But my recommendation at this point would be a mini face neck lift with muscle plication, end treatment to face. Fee from $10,000-$20,000. Again, best of virtual consult with.
