Will a mini facelift address the mid face and cheek area?

Prometheus123Mar 3, 2024
Does the mini facelift also lift the cheeks or would I have to do a separate midface lift for this? Also how long do the results last on a younger patient (mid/late 30s) considering that you don’t release any ligaments?

One thing to consider is a lip lift. A lip lift does 4 things: shortens the distance between your nose and upper lip, increases the mucosa of the upper lip, increases the incisor show and pulls up the corners. This will help minimize the nasolabial folds and give a more youthful appearance...

Unfortunately, you have not provided a lateral view. It may be possible that a chin implant would help improve the definition. It is a simple procedure done intra-orally and costs $3,500. Best Wishes, Gary Horndeski, M.D.
