Will Cheeklift or Filler in Cheek Improve Eye Hollows? I have severe eye hollows all the way around. Can I just get filler in cheek so that it may improve my orbital rim?? Will this work?

A: Cheek lift can improve lower lid hollows

Mid face or cheek lift can improve lower lid hollows, though for most we combine fat grafts over the rim and lower lid for a youthful transition from lid to cheek. You can just get a filler, though we prefer fat as it gives the most natural and lasting contour in the lower lid. Hyluronic gel fillers such as Restylane will hold water as they are 'hydrophilic' substances. In the lid this can mean puffy so skillful placement is a must.

Best of luck,

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

A: Cheek lift and midface lift can be one in the same

Most surgeons will use the terms cheek lift and midfacial lift interchangeably. Typical facelift procedures will focus on the lower face jawline and neck. Midfacial lift will rejuvenate the cheek and upper smile line. Procedures can overlap so be sure you understand what to expect from your procedure.

Will Cheeklift or Filler in Cheek Improve Eye Hollows? I have severe eye hollows all the way around. Can I just get filler in cheek so that it may improve my orbital rim?? Will this work?

A: Cheek lift or fillers?

This really depends on your specific problem and anatomy. If you have descended cheeks, then a cheek lift may help. Otherwise, a filler can be considered. Since a photo is not available, it is hard to give specific recommendations.
