Cheek Lift at 20 Years Old to Correct Nasolabial Folds/smiles Lines? want a cheek lift in order to smooth the lines around my mouth because they bother me alot. They are evident in pics and not a very appealing addition to my face. In addition i have slightly downward eyes and was wondering if it was possible to pull my eyes upward. I'm not looking for a drastic change with my eyes, just would prefer them not to be angled downward. both of my parents still have chubby cheeks in there late 40's and want to have my buccal pads removed and chin implant. Thoughts? :]

A: Cheek Lift at 20?

Your pictures show a very attractive 20 year old woman who has no need for aesthetic intervention. Please avoid cheek lift, buccal fat pad removal or any other surgical procedure.

Difference Between Cheek Lift and Mid Face Lift What is the difference between a "cheek lift" and a "mid face lift".

A: Midfacelift and Cheeklift

The terms Midface lift and Cheek-lift are sometimes used interchangeably. The differing point is often in the approach used. For example, a cheek lift can be accomplished in both a mini-lift and a Facelift utilizing a high SMAS technique; this also allows for contouring of the jowls and jawline. A midface lift can also be performed through a subperiosteal approach which involves a deeper plane of dissection and is often performed along with a brow lift.

Does a Cheek Lift Tighten the Underlying Muscles, or Only the Skin? I am 42yrs old and have been recommended a cheek lift (mini face lift?). Dr said this would be performed by tightening only the skin - no adjustment to the underlying muscle or stitches to the tissue under the skin. Does this sound right? Or will everything end up sagging pretty soon after if only the skin is tightened?

A: Sounds Like a Mini "Skin Only" Lift

Without understanding visually the aging changes that you have at age 42, it is very difficult to give specific advice. However, it sounds as if you are having a "skin only" form of mini lift. "Skin Only" procedures rely on elevation of skin, removal of redundant skin, and placement of tension on the skin. For a variety of reasons, such procedures are no longer commonly performed. A second opinion is what I would recommend.
