Sagging cheeks are a problem among women and men who have become more mature. A combination of too much sun exposure and the aging process has resulted in the loss of skin elasticity. The skin around the face is particularly susceptible to sagging. Sagging cheeks causes embarrassment and self-consciousness. A plastic surgeon can correct the problem. The approach may differ according to the extent of the skin sagging as well as the decision of the individual. Many individuals opt for a less invasive procedure involving soft tissue fillers. These involve such things as calcium hydroxylapatite, hyaluronic acid and polylactic acid. A more invasive procedure to remove sagging cheeks is a partial facelift. This option is permanent and involves surgery. Some individuals compromise with the so-called mini-lift. Talk to a qualified plastic surgeon about what would work best in your situation.
