What Does a Cheek Lift Cost?

There are many types of cheeklift, varying in cost from about 6000 up to 12000 including OR and anesthesia,, depending on the complexity of the surgery, whether it is to revise lower eyelid results at the same time. Revisional surgery is always more complex and requires a much higher skill and experience level.
Briefly, the types of cheeklift commonly performed are:
1. Underneath the eyelid (suborbicularis or subperiosteal)
2. Underneath the eyelid, minimal incision (i.e. USIC) (suborbicularis
3. Underneath the eyelid, minimal incision with grafts to reduce hollowness (i.e. LUSIC) (suborbicularis
4. Inside mouth and in temple (subperiosteal)
5. Inside mouth and in temple with fixation, screws, or Endotine (subperiosteal)
6. During a facelift (subcutaneous vs. sub malar fat pad)
All accomplish different things. Our book chapter and several articles referenced below talk about these methods and some of their pluses and minuses. Cheeklifts do NOT do the same thing as facelifts, which tighten skin in the face and neck, but are weak in the midface area. They address the lower eyelid area (Techniques 1,2,3) and/or the cheek area (all above techniques).
Cheeklifts originating in the temple often give an upward and lateral lift to the cheeks, something that should be artistically anticipated and reviewed with the patient prior to the procedure.
Extensive under the eye cheeklifts have a significant risk of pulling down of the eyelid, and should, in my opinion, to be avoided.
Cheeklifts are among the most difficult of all procedures on the face. Experience and a conservative approach, along with superior artistry are a MUST, especially if the surgery is revisional in nature.

Hello The cost of cheek lift procedures differs between surgeons, and the average cost of cheek implants differs between geographic regions.

A non surgical modality for cheek and face lifting without surgery is the Ultherapy treatment. Our office specializes in Ultherapy for cheek and mid face lifting.  This is an excellent first step that does not require downtime. Raffy Karamanoukian MD FACSLos Angeles

Costs in any cosmetic surgery depend on what is included.  Just throwing out a random number does not mean much.  You can see in almost any of these posts the "cost" varies widely.  This is mostly due to wether the cost is just the surgeons fee or if it is all inclusive.  I always quote in all inclusive prices.  Typically a mid face lift is about 6-12k and depends on how much lower eyelid work is done.

A cheek lift or mid-face lift is one of the most diffficult procedures to accomplish. For this reason there are more options here than nearly anywhere else in the face.
An office visit/consultation (complimentary) is mandatory prior to scheduling the procedure. There is now way to give you an accurate quote via EMail. A mid-face lift is rarely performed by itself and therefore the accompanying procedure(s) may influence the approach. For example:

If a face lift is being performed the mid-face lift may be achieved throught the facelift incisions,
If a forehead lift is desired then the mid-face lift is typically completed through the scalp incisions.
If the lower eyelids are being treated, the midface lift can be accomplished through the lower eyelid.
If no other external incisions are being employed and/or a cheek implant is being placed, then the mid-face lift may be carried out using the intra-oral approach.
Percutaneous techniques employing suture suspension (thread lift) with stitches through small incisions have been utilized.

During the consultation we may determine that other procedures are better suited for your optimal outcome. A variety of techniques are utilized to hold the elevated tissues in place and will generate additional fees for their use such as the endotine mid-face device.
Surgery averages about 2-3 hours but may take shorter or longer; the entire process takes about 5-6 hours and is performed on an outpatient basis.
We generally recommend that you take a week off work and avoid strenuous physical activity for three weeks. Intra oral incisions require limitations on your diet and dental hygiene for about 10 days afterwards. Compression garments are generally required during this time.
The surgery can be accomplished in several locations (hospital, office surgical suite, or surgicenter); fees vary accordingly with the last being the most cost effective.
Taking all this into consideration, a mid-face lift can range anywhere from $4500 up to $16,000. For your information our typical cost currently averages about $6000 which includes surgeon's fees (certified anesthesiologist, accredited outpatient surgicenter, and initial garments and dressings).
I hope this helps!
