Would filler to my cheeks lift my saggy skin even if it's due to loose facial muscles?

Asked By:Julian86 in New York, NY

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?
