Can a facelift incision be made in the nasolabial folds? (Photo)

Loving6347
I had a fat transfer that resulted in too much fat on one side above the nasolabial fold, so the skin has been stretched and sags. I know I could do a facelift and stretch it towards the ear, but that would bring the fat up to the cheekbone, and as a man I dislike big cheekbones. I was wondering if the excess skin can be removed at the nasolabial fold. My folds are pretty pronounced and they don't bother me terribly, so maybe an incision mark wouldn't look much different. Thank you.
