42, female, jowling and heaviness after weight loss - Am I a mini facelift candidate? (Photos)

42 F. I have lost some weight and have a real issue with jowling and heaviness in my lower face. I have booked a mini lower facelift after meeting with 2 other surgeons who turned me down. Is this likely to address my issues or a mistake?

The best option for you would be an eccentric lip lift. This does 4 things: shortens the distance between your nose and upper lip, increases the mucosa of the upper lip, increases the incisor show and pulls up the corners. This takes 1 hour to perform under local anesthesia and costs $4,000. ...
