@dongdong.jia: Dropping apple cheeks? The real culprit is that the deep fascial 'hammock' gets loose. The cheek fat pad is held up by ligaments; aging causes these ligaments to stretch and slacken, no longer able to hold the fat pad up. Gravity then pulls your apple cheeks down. Combined with bone loss and shrinking fat, it eventually leads to a hollowed-out look and deep laugh lines#Apple cheek#Deep fascial "hammock"
