What are some midface lift alternatives?

jack321
I have sagging skin beside the nose as a result of another operation. On the picture I'm looking down so it's more visible. I've consulted with several surgeons but I don't like their suggestions: -minilift+smas:I can't hide the scar in front of the ear -macs:it can't really adress this area -endoscopic midface lift:too risky -threads:too much skin to pull -filling of the upper cheek: wouldn't help when looking down Maybe an endoscopic lift but not on subperiosteal plane but only smas?
