Best Treatment for Sagging Mouth and Wrinkles? (photo)

O
ohmaggiemaeMar 13, 2013

What is the most economical way to improve the sagging corners of my mouth as well as smooth the wrinkles in my forehead? Since I am 44 years old, is it better to get some type of facelift for a more permanent solution or would paying for fillers and Botox every several months be more cost effective? Thank you.
