Cheeks are sagging after jaw surgery and missing teeth. What is the best solution? Is facelift or botox an option? (Photos)

Asked By:srdr in Montreal, QC

I had a jaw surgery in 2010 for my underbite. My upper jaw was moved fwd. I also have a missing tooth on left upper jaw (it's a bridge). The gum has collapsed a bit. Both of my cheeks are kind of saggy (more on left). I am afraid of having implant treatment for my missing teeth because of my jaw surgery. I am wondering if botox or other ways of facelift is an option. I definitely don't want to look like I had a plastic surgery (like some celebrities). I am 35 yr old.
