Question:
My face looks like I have lost a lot of weight but this is not the case. It looks like my cheeks are sinking down into my chin. Do you recommend a mid-facelift for droopy cheeks?
Answer:
The area that you are referring to sounds like it may be your jowls that are beginning to develop and this may be better addressed with either a traditional facelift or a MACS lift, a type of mini-facelift. A midface lift is used to elevate the fat pad beneath your eyes that begins to fall as we age. A midface lift will help redefine your cheek bone area and the area beneath your eyes if hollowness is developing in this area. The jowls develop in the lower face and this area is a common location that people who are seeking facial rejuvenation are interested in improving.
