What Does a Cheek Lift Cost?

Is a cheek lift, or mid-face lift less expensive than a full face lift? What is the average price of a cheek lift?

A: cost depends on the techniques used and geographic area of the surgeon

The cheek lift is such a variable technique that the costs are greatly different.

A liquid cheek lift done with injectables or a string lift is relatively inexpensive.

However a cheek lift that may require that additional surgery be done such as lower lids or face lift can be very expensive.

The best idea is to seek consultation with a surgeon who can offer you various options.

What Are the Different Cheek Lift Procedures?

I'm a 35 year old female and due to early aging because of hereditary traits. I'm interested in a Cheek lift procedure. It seems from what I've read that there are different types of Cheek Lift procedures, including one that hides the incisions within the hair line/ follicles and through the inside of the mouth.

Can someone please elaborate on what is available and the pros/cons/benefits of each different type of Cheek Lift? Also, would a Cheek Lift address both undereye hollow area and the cheek sagging on the sides of the mouth as well as the upper cheek area. Thank you.

A: cheeklifts fall into five catagories;
  • done as a part of a Facelift and are therefore done from the sides
  • done from a lower lid incision as a portion of a mid-face lift
  • done from the scalp above the ears
  • minimally invasive done with strings
  • liquid lifts - done by combining injections to get the look of a lift.

All these techniques can be mixed and matched to give the best results.

You need to see a surgeon who has an eclectic approach to the face.

Uneven Results from Cheek Lift Procedures

I had a neck, cheek and brow lift. Now, my jowls are next to the corners of my mouth. The surgeon said he Liposuctioned the saggy skin and it will take 9 months for the skin to tighten back up. Does that sound right? I don't think he did the cheek lift, since the whole center of my face is drooping, leaving me with a heavy lateral sweep on one side and loose skink on the other side. Is it possible that the surgeon was so careless, so I ended up with an uneven result? Can this be corrected?

A: Round broad faces are the most difficult to improve the jowls

Your picture indicates that you have a round and broad face.  These are the hardest to get and maintain good elevation of the jowls.  It is simple physics - the jowls are heavy and the pull is coming from further away in any form of face lifting due to the width of the face.  We try to warn patients in advance that they may need fillers after the swelling goes down to smooth out the transition of cheek to jowl.
