33M, Sculptra plus fat grafting with or without endoscopic mid facelift? (Photos)

E
ErudesMay 22, 2023

My problem is the midface, where my cheeks appear to be more sagged and hollow. I have been told that I need a volume restoration, either via fat grafting or Sculptra. Yet I am afraid volume restoration might not be enough and that is why I am thinking about endoscopic mid facelift too. Do you think fat or Sculptra might be enough ? So facelift might be an overkill. And if those two wouldnt be enough, would facelift after fat grafting or Sculptra be problematic because of the scar tissue.
