51 years old - Should I have a surgical or nonsurgical facelift? (Photos)

July 3, 2022
Asked By:sdnatvbb in San Diego, CA

I'm a 51 y/o female, 5'3", 142lbs. Ive had cheek, nasolabial fold, and lip fillers previously. None of these made a satisfactory change in my downturned mouth or sagging skin. I want to lift the mouth creases and even out the lip fullness. One side of my face appears higher than the other from the nostril down. I'd like to get that corrected too. I'd prefer to invest in a long lasting procedure but there are so many options out there. Where do I start?
