Sagging cheeks can affect facial features to a great extent, making one look tired. The cheeks lack the cushion and appear quite flat. As indicative of the name, a cheek lift goes a long way to improve the conditions of sagging cheeks. A mid-face lift is a surgical procedure to elevate the Malar Fat Pad.

Research is still on to channelize on the utility and effectiveness of the stem cells to achieve better facelift results.

Nevertheless, facelifts have been illuminating lives with renewed vigor. The aging signs no longer compel a person to avoid social gatherings and function.
