Face Surgery
 

As we grow older, different parts of our body and face start to sag. If you should live in a place where there is no gravitational force, none of our parts would ever droop.

But, gravity is not the only factor for sagging, the other culprit being loss of elasticity and tone of the skin, which reduces gradually with age.
