Mid face lift - suggestions to smooth out this minor issue?

Question

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

Nasolabial fold can often persist after a facelift. I would not recommend a midface lift. It doesn’t work very well and can have some bad problems

Based on your photos, I would say the treatment that would produce the most rejuvenation to your face would be adding volume to the hollow area of your cheeks.  This would pull back the nasolabial folds and make your face appear younger.  There are a variety of fillers that could be used for this purpose.
