Mini facelift or mid facelift in late 20s for drooping lower face? (photos)

August 9, 2020
Asked By:moderngirl in Ontario, ON

I'm in my late 20s and feel my midface is drooping a lot the last few years. The pics don’t so it justice but it drags my face down making my eyes hollow, my smile frowny and slight jowls. My skin is also very lax and lacks tightness. Early Jowls also run in my family. I want to avoid filler since it’s too expensive in the long run and also my facial skin is very thick especially in my cheeks so I don’t know where to put it without adding too much volume to my face. What are my options?
