Age 27, which is the best cheek lift technique to restore natural position of fat pads? (Photos)

December 10, 2022
Asked By:fairy.lights in Scotland, United Kingdom

Hello, I'm 27 yet have hollowing of the eyes, flattening and sagging of the cheeks. Therefore, am seeking a mid-face lift to restore the natural position of the fat pads, fascia etc on the cheek bone. I’m wondering which is considered the better technique – an incision via the lower eyelid or endoscopically through the temple? I do have excess fat and skin in the lower lid but am scared this technique would change the shape of the eye. Thank you very much for any insight!
