Endoscopy facelift or Spring thread lifting? (photo)

Question

I am 34 old and I have sagging cheeks and also corners of my mouth are moved downwards. I have been lately doing some research regarding both Spring thread facelift and endoscopy facelift. Also came across modifications in endoscopic facelift. So far quite confused and don't know what would be right for me.

If you feel that your face does not reflect how young you feel on the inside, a facelift may be the solution to help you look and feel younger. During your consultation, your doctor will evaluate your skin texture and elasticity, as well as your underlying skin structure and your facial bone structure. Based on this evaluation, he/she will create a custom surgical plan, detailing specific techniques and recommendations to meet your goals. Your doctor should make sure you have a full understanding of what results to expect.Always insist on a board certified surgeon!

A subperiosteal midface lift with direct vertical elevation would help you considerably. Facelift technique results in a younger and natural, but not "done," look. The surgery is done in a deeper plane which results in a full-thickness skin and subcutaneous tissue flap, which is redraped and elevated vertically over a repositioned SMAS layer.

In my opinion, none of the above - especially not thread/springs. The "risk/benefit ratio" is against you with any surgery at this time. If anything, well done fillers can accentuate the contour pleasantly.

Thank you for your question.At 34 years of age, you are still very young. I appreciate your concerns, and from your pictures, I can see your nasolabial folds.If you were my patient, I would recommend something as simple as fat grafting to your midface. That would certainly buy you a bit of time.Kind regards.
