29, I want to improve my nasolabial folds/cheeks.Would a mini facelift help me? (Photos)

Morpheus 8 is a non-invasive skin and soft tissue tightening treatment that is consistently amazing in our patients. We use the Morpheus to exact fractional induced RF into the skin or tissue in order to tighten collagen and stimulate contraction of the tissue. For acne scars, it is quite useful to build collagen in patients who have atrophic scars but is not very productive for ice-pick scars which require TCA Cross. For tissue tightening, Morpheus is ideal for the face and neck and we often combine it with CO2 laser or Ultherapy to further enhance results. Chemical peels and skin resurfacing should be done at least 5 to 7 days after, but can be performed earlier, depending on treatment severity. Avoid exfoliating skin treatments before Morpheus and expect a period of 2-4 weeks for skin contraction to set in.

Based on your concerns and lack of improvement with fillers, I recommend an Endotine midface lift using temporal and upper gingivobuccal incisions. This technique lifts the mid-cheek fat pad vertically, helping reduce nasolabial folds and cheek sagging without adding volume.

A face lift will not improve the nasolabial fold.
In fact, it can make it worse.
Correctly done fillers should be the way to go.
