Weight fluctuation - Am I a good candidate for a lower face lift? Photos)

Question

Or possibly buccal fat removal ? Or threads? I’ve gained and lost weight many times and feel it’s very visible in my face. I don’t like the witchy-cheek look that fillers can give so I’m not keen on fillers. But I’m open to advice, thank you!

Unlike other tightening treatments, Ultherapy only requires a single treatment every one to two years and has long-term effects in skin stimulation and collagen production. Ultherapy is ideal for men and women who are experiencing mild to moderate skin laxity and desire a noticeable and long-term skin tightening treatment without the complications and risks of more invasive surgical procedures. Ultherapy can be combined with dermal fillers, Botox treatments, chemical peels, skin tightening lasers, and skin facials. Our plastic surgery and cosmetic center in Santa Monica offers Ultherapy as a complement to other skin treatments and cosmetic rejuvenation procedures.

In the one photo you provided, you look great. You may have skin laxity that would allow for skin tightening, but in this one photo I am not seeing any significant skin sagging that would need an 'urgent' facelift. A consultation with a facelift specialist to be assessed in person may be beneficial. You need to ask yourself if your current face bothers you to the point that you would be willing to have surgery, scars, down time. And will the improvement be worth it. You look pretty good already, so you shouldn't expect a too dramatic change. Yes, lots of celebrities are now posting dramatic transformations.... keep in mind you're not seeing the real photos but professionally modified photos. Keep your expectations realistic ;-)

Based on only one post a photo I recommend a virtual consultation for more better examination and recommendations. My initial thought is a mini facelift in combination with Endo laser. The range would be $8000-$10,000. Best to virtual
