Cheeklift will not address upper eyelid issues

A cheek lift (also referred to as midface lift) treats the area from the lower eyelid down the cheek to about the level of the bottom of the nose. It does not affect the upper eyelids. Perhaps your surgeon is also proposing some form of eyelid surgery as well? You should clarify the expectations of the surgery with him before the surgery to make sure you are both on the same page.

Unfortunatley, in order to make a recommendation of what I think the best procedure is for you, I would need to see you. A few of the many possibey upper eyelid solutions are eyelid surgery, eyelid ptosis repair, browlift, fat transfer, or injectable fillers.

The main indications for a cheek lift are to improve the grooves from the nose to the corner of the mouth, give the appearance of higher cheek bones , fill the grooves at the  bottom of the lower eyelids, and improve the contour  of the lower eyelid margin. Upper eyelid surgery can be done during the same procedure, but the cheek lift will do nothing for the upper lids.
