Hello, I'm 31 and noticing my face is changing. Mostly my big cheeks are starting to sag. I'm also concerned with my under eye wrinkles. Everyone says they can't tell so idk if I'm being dramatic. I really don't want filler. Mini lifts are popular so I wonder if I'm a good candidate and what surgery is best for under eyes and if I'm a candidate for that too. Should I wait for surgery and focus on skin care? Thank you!
