This attractive 60-year-old woman from Virginia Beach was bothered by the sag of her cheeks and consulted with me about a facelift. I pointed out that with aging there is not only sag but also “sinking in” and loss of volume. Around the chin area she had a very common sign of aging, a profound loss of tissue thickness with thinning of the skin. This contributes significantly to an aged appearance without most patients aware. Along with her facelift, she had fat injections to the lines around her mouth. However, a more profound, although subtle difference are the fat injections to the areas of hollowing. Fat injections are most effective when the eye does not realize there has been fat added. She is extremely happy with this natural appearance.
