Best Way to Treat Jowls, Nasal Labial Folds, Festoons? (photo)

I have lower facial sagging, jowls and nasal labial folds that I would like to eliminate. I believe all are due to aging and my pregnancy in 2006 when I gained weight mainly in my face and stomach. I am 44 years old, thin, athletic. A surgeon has recommended a mid-face lift, anterior neck lift with liposuction and lipo of the “fat pads” on my cheek bones. Are these procedures the best way/current standard to smooth my face and jawline?
