ABSTRACT:
An apparatus for providing facial support includes a head band, a head strap, a cheek support, a forehead strap and a nose band. The head band wraps around the top of the head and the chin. The cheek support is attached to the head band and provides support for the cheeks. The nose strap and the forehead band hold the apparatus in place on the user's face. The head strap is used to hold the apparatus on the face and to pull the cheek support into engagement with the cheeks. By applying support to the cheeks, sagging of the cheeks can be reduced or prevented.
