I have deep nasolabial folds,very full lower part of my face and my malar pad migrated towards my nose.I also have under eye hollownes and poorly developed malar bone area.I have a lot of fat on my face, but Im slim.I consultated 3 plastic surgeons who advised against cheek implants,because my face is already wide and full but everything just saggs.Im considering a midface lift,but im afraid my face will look even wider.Should i do lipo (cheeks jaw) or partial buccal pad removal before lifting?
