D.J. Verret, MD answers: What works to tighten sagging skin on your cheeks?

I have a lot of skin laxity in my cheeks, and I am wondering what I can do about it.  Thank you, Triss.

There are many options for sagging cheeks. If the problem is a volume issue, fat transfer from the abdomen or thighs can be a good option. This is a permanent solution but can take a time or two to get the desired result. For a quicker fix, artificial cheek implants are a good option. If you do not like the result, removal is easy and you are back to where you started.

If skin laxity is a concern, a midface lift may be your solution. This helps to lift and tighten sagging tissues. Ablative laser treatments can help to decrease wrinkles as well.

To determine which is the best option, consultation with an experienced surgeon is your best option.

Good luck.
