Age 39, non surgical options for sagging face? (Photos)

September 4, 2022
Asked By:misscheeks in Oslo, Norway

I'm 39, athletic with a stable weight. Slowly lost 20 pounds over the last 3 years. I'd like a tighter and more lifted look to my face, especially my sagging cheeks, nasolabial folds, and beginning marionette lines. Imagine placing your fingers by the cheekbones and slightly pulling up. I want to avoid thread lifts. Is surgery the only option? I'm open for creative solutions such as a chin implant, buccal fat removal, RF microneedling etc.
