I have been seriously considering facelift . I want a vertical/diagonal cheek lift. I feel like pulling my cheeks up and slightly to the side will make my undereye look better and flatten out area around mouth. I have seen several surgeons and they recommend traditional incision . I would be MORTIFIED to have visible facelift scars at the age of 38! Are there any alternatives? Endoscopic lift or scar in temporal /hairy area? Would temporal incision in the hairline allow to lift lower cheeks?
