W
wunderluxeJun 17, 2023

I had a neck/low face lift 2 years ago with great result. It did not fix the issue of nasolsbial area that seem to have a slight bulg due to sagging with hollow cheeks. I have very high cheekbones, little fat, thin skin and no wrinkles but sharp features and the issue creates unattractive shadows. I would like suggestions to best procedure to smooth out this minor issue similar to pulling slightly at temples. I also have slight sagging of upper eyelid outer corner and like to address both issue

Dear lillieliny, Thanks for the question. A facelift and neck lift would remove excess skin in the neck and jowls. Fat grafting and fillers may help replace volume. I would suggest a consultation with a board-certified plastic surgeon for further information and recommendations.
