Saggy cheeks making heaviness around the nasolabial fold. Can this be treated with liposuction? (Photo)

Asked By:cascou in Uhwiesen, Obwalden, Suisse

I am 32 years old. I've had sagging cheeks since childhood and it makes my nasolabial folds look heavy. i've already had injections and a minor operation to tighten the tissues (i don't know the exact name). I'm not satisfied with the result and so I went to see a doctor who suggested liposuction of the cheeks in the furrows. I feel that this is risky in terms of results, what do you think? Which alternatives?
