Hi there, i have saggy skin in my midface at only the age of 32. I feel like i look 50 rather than my true age. I think it is likely due to loose facial muscles making my skin sag at such an early age. I know a dermal filler to my cheeks wouldn't magically tighten my facial muscles but i would like to know if a filler would correct this issue and act as a 'mask' to lift my face? As my saggy skin is due to loose muscles, could it mean that fillers won't work to correct the sag?
Answer: Would filler to my cheeks lift my saggy skin even if it's due to loose facial muscles? You have a few options and since you are young you probably do not need much. I like to use Voluma for the cheeks to bring back lost volume to the area. Starting with 1 syringe for each side and adding overtime if necessary until you achieve the look you are going after. Ultherapy is also a nice treatment for skin tightening. Using both HA fillers and Ultherapy in conjunction with one another can give a nice result.

Answer: Lifting the skin Hello. I highly doubt that you have web facial muscles in your 30's. It is most likely weaker skin collagen and elastin as well as a little volume loss that contribute to your face sagging. The best option is to tighten the skin with an amazing procedure called Ultherapy and then lift the skin with a little filler volume. Please see an unperson expert consultation to determine the best possible treatment plan for your concern. Hope this helps, Best, Dr.Avaliani

Answer: Saggy skin Face, Loose muscles, Cheek Filler Injections Hello, I am not clear as why you think the muscles are loose. Sometimes we see more volume around jow line and most is excess fat tissues. There are may options available. A photo could be very helpful and would allow me to be more specific. Anyway, there are 3 main categories: a) Filler in cheek area, would lift up the saggy skin in some degrees. b) fillers in midface and lower face can improve the contouring and improve the look even though may not directly affect the saggy area. c) collagen Induction therapy, there are different treatments available, (PRP, Microneedling, laser, RF, and home treatment)
