Am I a good candidate for a cheek lift? (Photo)

A doctor recommended a cheek lift as a permanent solution to my genetic nasolabial folds and hollow under eyes. I've tried filler previously but it just made me look puffy. Am I a good candidate for a cheek lift?

I recommend fillers to soften the nasolabial folds themselves and also lift around the mouth and cheeks to build underlying anatomical support. In our practice we combine Sculptra with other fillers "layered" on top and lasers, skin tightening treatments such as Thermage, Fractora, and Renuvion...

Thank you for sharing your question and posting your photo. You look great and should have no additional procedures performed. Aiming for perfection will result in unnecessary treatments which eventually leads to complications. I hope this help. Good luck,

It's difficult to say without the benefit of a formal evaluation. This is my expertise and a huge portion of my practice. Asymmetry is normal and expected. See an expert who does facial shaping with surgical and non surgical methods to get a comprehensive option. Best, Dr. Emer.
