A month after mini vertical lifting because my first digit changed from 3 to 4, with sagging cheeks and deep nasolabial folds!

Has everyone experienced your face falling apart when your age changes from the 30s to the 40s? I used to think I just looked tired all the time and had a dull complexion, but at some point I noticed deep nasolabial folds even when I was not smiling. As the lower cheeks slowly sagged down like bulldog jowls, every time I looked in the mirror I felt like I looked older and had a mean expression, and the stress was enormous... In photos my lower face looked like it was just sagging and getting wide.. At first I thought maybe I had just not been taking care of myself enough, so I bought a full set of famous anti-aging cosmetics online and tried them, and I bought a gua sha massager on Coupang and rubbed my face hard every night until it was almost bursting. The conclusion was, yeah.. none of it helped at all; ^^ I would feel like the swelling went down for a moment.. but when I looked in the mirror the next day, the deep nasolabial folds and sagging cheeks were reset exactly as before lol Home care was just a temporary measure... So I started looking into a lifting procedure that would actually pull things up properly. I was scared of a full facelift, and thread lifting apparently does not last long, so while I was wondering what to do, I found a method with amazing reviews, and that was mini vertical lifting~~ I looked for a clinic close to home, and after comparing a few places and checking reviews, I picked Director Jang Woo-seok at [Clinic B] because the reviews were good! He is the director of the lifting center!!! During the consultation, the director looked at the direction of my facial sagging, skin elasticity, and the position of the deep cheek area very carefully, and really analyzed why my face had sagged like that~~ Then he said that pulling too much would look unnatural, so we should lift it naturally to fit my face shape, and he recommended only what was needed with no overtreatment at all, which I really liked~~ It is exactly 1 month now, so how does the photo look? The before and after difference is definitely big, right? Mini vertical lifting does not require a large incision in front of the ear, so the scar I was worried about is not very noticeable, and the swelling went down quickly! When I had laser or thread lifting before, it felt like a waste of money, but this is not just pulling the surface of the skin. It feels like my skin has really settled back into the place it used to be when I was younger, so I would say it feels very stable?? The part I am most satisfied with is that the dark shadow around the nasolabial fold is gone!! Before, when I put on makeup, concealer would gather in the nasolabial fold and it was a mess.. but now none of that happens, and because my jawline is neatly defined, my face looks much smaller.. These days even when I take a quick photo with the default camera, my face comes out cleanly, which is also so surprising I should have done it much earlier.. Thinking about the money I wasted on cosmetics and devices makes me regret it, but since I did it now, I should just be satisfied and live with it^^.. My husband originally tried to stop me by asking why I was doing it, but now he says I was right to do it and keeps praising me for looking much better for the first time in a while haha If any of you who are stressed every time you look in the mirror because of nasolabial folds and sagging cheeks are like me, definitely go at least for a consultation for mini vertical lifting! I wrote this review because I am truly satisfied
