Does a mid-face (cheek) lift also take care of lower eyebags?

The eyelid bags are due to laxity of the lower eyelid skin, muscle and fatty deposits.  The descent of the cheeks gives a deflated , saggy midface and jowls with deep nasolabial folds. Both of these changes in facial aging can be fixed at the same surgery. A lower blepharoplasty and vertical midface lift  with fat grafts would be the plan for surgery.However, the lower eyelid tightening or blepharoplasty can be performed first under local anesthesia .  There would be less downtime in your recovery.  It would address the puffiness, which is  caused by fatty tissue that needs to be removed or repositioned to smooth out the eyelid skin.The vertical midface lift and fat grafts can be performed as a second surgery in the near future. 

A mid-face lift through the lower eyelid approach can be an effective way to treat a sagging cheek and bulging eyelid fat. Without photos, it is difficult to tell if you are a candidate. I recommend setting up a consultation with a board-certified plastic surgeon to discuss the best treatment plan to fit your needs. Best of luck!
 

A facelift procedure targets the excess skin in the lower half of the face while providing a tightening/lifting effect for the remaining skin and deeper tissues. Facelift procedures alone do not target the eyelids. Blepharoplasty procedures target the eyelids and the bagging under the eyes. However, facelifts are often combined with eyelids surgeries within the same session with very good outcomes.Hope this helps,Ali Rıza Öreroğlu, MD FEBOPRASEuropean and Turkish Board Certified Aesthetic, Plastic and Reconstructive SurgeonIstanbul, Turkey
