A cheeklift lifts the cheek under the eye.

The area under the eye is not lifted well with a facelift. The cheek can be lift thru the temple hair incision or an incision in the lower eyelid. Often we use an absorbable Endotine device to secure this to the bone.

Mid-face lift

A mid-face lift is an operation that elevates the cheeks in their vertical direction upward to give a new and more youthful look. An alternative to the mid-face lift is a volumetric augmentation of the cheeks with cheek implants, which is much more predictable. The mid-face lift incisions are usually underneath the upper lip and up in the hairline.

The Mid-Face Lift

The most striking effects of aging are seen in the facial area just to the side of the nose and under the lower lid. It is here that the cheek sags unveiling the deep tear tough and bulging lower lid above. As the descent of the cheek continues, the nose to lip (Nasolabial) line becomes deeper and creates a crease soon to be joined by the corner of the mouth drool line and the jowls hanging off the edge of the mandible. A Facelift MAY correct the jowls and remove loose neck and... more
