George J. Beraka, MD answers: Will Cheek lift improve hollow lower eyelids ?

I had an aggressive lower blepharoplasty with excessive fat removal. I am now considering a Lower face lift/Neck lift and the surgeon wants to raise the cheeks as part of the lift. I understand this will give me more volume up to the orbital rim, but my hollowness is above the rim.

Given the extra healing time, would I not be better skipping the Cheek lift and treating the lower eyelid with fillers or fat? Thanks

Hi!

In Manhattan, we think the mid facelift is a great operation.  One of the things it accomplishes is correction of hollowness, but not so well on the inside (towards the nose).  Of course it is hard to be sure without seeing you, but for you, well performed fat injections may be best.  Much depends on how they are done.  Skip fillers.
