Is Skin Only Facelift No Longer Performed?

May 21, 2013
Asked By:newpotatoe in Fort Lauderdale, Florida

I had exilis (fat burning, skin tightening) done on I'm my cheeks and my skin is now slightly sagging. I also have a medpor implant in my infraorbital rim cheeks that I slightly want to shave off, to give me a more natural look. So I'm expecting some loose skin but after going online that removing excess skin was the traditional facelift that is no longer recommended. Does this mean that having some skin removed on my cheeks is a bad idea and not recommended anymore? Please help!
