I was told a traditional facelift won't correct cheek / mid face descent. If this is the case,what options would I have for the mid face?
Answer: Facelift versus cheek implants The midface ages by contraction and with loss of volume, while the lateral face ages with gravitational descent. The goal of a facelift is to tighten loose facial and neck skin, lift the jowls, tighten loose facial and neck muscles, and remove any fatty deposits in the neck. In the mid face, we restore volume with a small cheek implant placed through an intra-oral approach to restore volume to that area. Cheek implants and a facelift can be performed together or separately, depending upon the patient's desires. For many examples of both procedures, please see the video and the link below

Answer: Mid face about volume Without an in person exam, it's impossible to say what the right course of action would be. I would suggest that you seek a consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon in your area (link below) to discuss options. There may be facelift techniques that would help with your mid-face descent or perhaps a combination of a facelift with fat grafting or fillers. Hope this helps, Dr. Nazarian

Answer: A traditional facelift is an excellent job of correcting cheek sagging. A facelift of any kind needs to be properly executed. Release of the retaining ligaments along the cheekbone as well as the jaw will permit excellent repositioning of the soft tissues of the upper face. A conventional full facelift also takes care of the neck all the way down to the clavicle.

Answer: Will a facelift correct sagging cheeks? That is correct. A facelift does not treat the cheeks/midface but has most if its power in the jowls and neck. Your options for your mid face would be a mid face lift, fillers or a cheek implant. In my practice, I prefer cheek implants and/or fillers. Please seek a personal consultation and exam with a board certified plastic surgeon.

Answer: Midface correction Thank you for your question. I don't think that I would say that a facelift procedure will not correct cheek/midface decent at all. I think it would certainly help a little bit. However, you may need extra volume in the cheek area to really get the best outcome. This can be accomplished in a few ways, such as with an implant or with fat augmentation. I would visit w/ your local PS to get a consultation. Best wishes.
