Asked By:Amber27 in Scotland, United Kingdom

I had a midface lift (MFL) regretably in 2020 which has left me with lower lid retraction and change in the way the cheeks come up to eyes when i smile. Also a deep horizontal platform is created at the crows feet of my eyes which is new. I have been suggested a soof lift with canthopexy but my recovery from MFL was extensive and horrible hence would like to know difference please.
