Cheek Lift

How?

In a cheek lift procedure, the cheek tissue is elevated to its original position, creating a smoother, more youthful appearance. Typically, little to no fat is removed; instead, the cheek tissue is repositioned to reduce or eliminate the line between the cheek and the lower eyelid.

The cheek lift is usually performed as an outpatient procedure and lasts about three hours, depending on the treatment plan. Many patients opt to combine their cheek lifts with blepharoplasty (eyelid lift surgery), which removes loose skin and bulging fat from the lower eyelid areas. When combined, the cheek lift raises the cheek tissue using the same incision as the lower eyelid lift, enhancing the overall results.

Will Cheek Lift Results Last?

The final results of a cheek lift typically become evident within about six months, although individual healing times can vary. The effects of a cheek lift can be long-lasting, and in many cases, the results can be permanent. However, each patient's outcome is unique due to individual facial characteristics.

Consulting with an experienced plastic surgeon is crucial before undergoing a cheek lift or any cosmetic enhancement. A skilled surgeon can evaluate your specific situation, set realistic expectations, and help you achieve the best possible results. For many patients, combining a cheek lift with a facelift can effectively reverse signs of aging, restoring a more youthful appearance and boosting confidence.
