Cheek lift won't help

Acne scars can be difficult to treat.  However, a cheek or midface lift will not remove the affected tissue.  The scarring to the deeper tissues is not addressed with this surgery.  I have found that the scarring can be addressed by inserting a needle next to the depression and cutting the adherent scar.  Often, because the tissue has significant memory, a filler below the defect is needed.

A cheek or midface lift elevates the cheek and anterior facial tissues through various incisions.  Usually a very small amount of skin needs to be removed from the lower lid but this is only a few millimeters.
