Hello, I am a 32 year old woman and I am unhappy with my lower face. I have a rare vascular disorder and have had multiple open surgeries to repair my renal and iliac veins to maintain a good quality of life. As a result of all the surgeries I have had a fluctuating weight. I notice the toll on my face. I have had filler to address the folds however the results do not last very long. Am I a candidate for a mini facelift ? I also have HEDS which adds to my skins Elasticity. All opinions welcome
