Cheek Lift: Q&A

Are Cheek Lifts Considered Old School?
I am 45. I feel I need the works....facelift, necklift, lower bleph and fat grafting; however, I don't know if I am up for it. My eyes age me the most along with the sagging cheeks. I do also have a very slight jowl with marionette lines. A cheeklift along with a lower bleph hasn't been presented as an option and I have consulted with several board certified plastic surgeons. I have not met with an Occuplasty. Is this still considered a good option?

Cheeklift Option

It has a role to play in cheek rejuvenation but is less commonly done than other methods including cheek implants and injectable fillers. It is an option but whether it is at the top of the list for you would require pictures and furtehr assessment.

Facelift/ cheek lift
Based on the information you have given, you should consult with a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon, certified by the American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS) to discuss a Blepharoplasty and Facelift. There is really no such operation as just a cheek lift, unless you are referring to cheek implants.
