Many people mistakenly believe that a facelift can improve sagging cheeks. However, a facelift is a surgery that lifts the skin primarily along the line in front of the ears, making it difficult to directly lift the cheek fat itself. Attempting to pull the cheek fat too aggressively can lead to side effects such as an uneven skin surface. Reduced skin elasticity can be compared to a stretched elastic band. While cutting and shortening an elastic band might temporarily make it taut, we cannot simply discard our skin. Therefore, instead of 'discarding' the skin, we must utilize various methods to regenerate its elasticity. Lifting devices such as Ulthera, Thermage, Shurink, InMode, and Oligio play a crucial role in this elasticity regeneration. They promote collagen production within the skin, helping to restore skin elasticity naturally and healthily.
