(53-year-old) Is facelift without fat transfer good enough? (Photos)

January 17, 2018
Asked By:Cernobbio in New York, NY

What bothers me the most is: (1) the marionette lines, (2) jowls, (3) nasolabial folds & (4) downturned mouth. Two plastic surgeons recommended a facelift with fat transfer. But... I am not sure (1) if my face has deteriorated enough for a facelift & (2) if a facelift would help my four areas of concern; plus, (3) I don’t want a fat transfer or other fillers and wonder whether a facelift (without the addition of fillers/fat transfer) would give me enough improvement to make a facelift worth it.
