I am 42yrs old and have been recommended a cheek lift (mini face lift?). Dr said this would be performed by tightening only the skin - no adjustment to the underlying muscle or stitches to the tissue under the skin. Does this sound right? Or will everything end up sagging pretty soon after if only the skin is tightened?
Answer: Cheek lift options. There are many approaches to a cheek lift. Some are performed below the skin, others by suspending various fat pads (SOOF or malar), muscle, and/or the periosteum(covering of the bone). Skin lifts only are unlikely to provide long term correction.

CONTACT NOW Answer: Mini Facelift & Mini neck lift -- FaceTite RF for internal skin tightening + Neck Liposuction for definition/contouring FaceTite can internally tighten the skin in the lower face and neck. After all the skin has been heated and contracted, we shape the neck with liposuction to give definition and remove stubborn pockets of fat. In one quick treatment, we can tighten skin, remove fat, and contour the lower face, jawline, and jowls with only a weekend of downtime. Keep in mind that combination approaches will give you a more significant improvement as opposed to a single procedure. I recommend getting a consultation with a board-certified cosmetic dermatologist and facial sculpting expert. Best, Dr. Emer

Answer: Skin lifts relax from stretching. Muscle tightening is better but midface lifts are not a good option

Answer: Sounds Like a Mini "Skin Only" Lift Without understanding visually the aging changes that you have at age 42, it is very difficult to give specific advice. However, it sounds as if you are having a "skin only" form of mini lift. "Skin Only" procedures rely on elevation of skin, removal of redundant skin, and placement of tension on the skin. For a variety of reasons, such procedures are no longer commonly performed. A second opinion is what I would recommend.
