Mini lift or mid facelift for my sagging cheeks, nasolabial lines, jowls and tear troughs? (Photo)

May 6, 2022
Asked By:conmom7 in SoCal

I'm bothered by my sagging cheeks, depressions in the eye trough area, lines around the mouth, nasolabial lines and the beginnings of jowls along my jaw line. Due to Hashimoto's, fillers are not a recommended option for me. Which is my best option, a mid- facelift or a mini facelift to address my concerns? I've included photos in various lighting including natural sunlight, and the arrows indicate the areas I specifically want to correct.
