Hello Drs, I am considering a mid face lift with a revision rhinoplasty to rejuvenate me- in my late thirties. I hope facial asymmetry can somewhat be addressed by this. I am also tired of fillers which haven't lasted and never really address my naso labial folds. Do you recommend a mid face lift? Would it help my face and nasolabial folds properly and is it a good idea to do at the same time as a revision rhinoplasty? regarding which I have asked another question. Thank you so much!
