Cheek Lift and Midface Lift

As we age, fat stores are depleted and can descend from their natural position. This loss of cheek volume, together with shifting contours in the midface region, can bring about unwanted changes in facial harmony. When the midface descends, it can make the area under the eyes appear shadowed or hollowed. Jowls may form under the cheeks, and nasolabial folds (laugh lines) around the nose and mouth can become more prominent.

A cheek lift, or midface lift, can reduce many of these signs of aging, while restoring youthful fullness and natural contours. A variety of techniques may be used, ranging from minimally invasive cheek augmentation with dermal fillers, to autologous fat grafting, to surgical lifting and sculpting of the underlying soft tissue. By targeting changes in the midface region, this procedure can produce remarkable overall facial rejuvenation.
