Question

I am 72 with slack jaws and many deep wrinkles on cheeks.

Which type of facelift is best for someone of my age?

I don't want to look over young just good for my age.

Answer

I am assuming from your description that there is also significant amount of sun damage to the skin.

I would consider a combination of SMAS facelift and fat transfer a suitable approach to provide rejuvenation without exaggerated tightening.
