Is there no surgery that can pull up and back across the cheek and nasolabial fold area..like a slight facelift?

#facelift and #facialrejuvenationthere are three areas that we look at:skin surfacevolumelaxity of skin an muscleThese can all be addressed for you to get some rejuvenation. What procedure to perform is assessed on an individual basis. It sounds like you are looking for subtle results which may be achieved with non-surgical methods such as botox, fillers. 

Rejuvenating the upper face is always an individualized process. Most of the time this can be accomplished in an outpatient setting in just a couple hours time. Adding volume to the upper face and cheek with fat from the abdomen or flanks in combination with a mini faelift this can safely and effectively change your appearance naturally. 

Hello,Thank you for your question. Facial fillers designed for deep placement in the cheek area can be a great, non-surgical place to start. Cheek filler can uplift the cheeks/nasolabial folds  and are not permanent. Fat grafting to the area is also a possibility and potentially a mid-face lift.I recommend that you book an in-person consultation with a board certified Plastic Surgeon so that they may examine you and discuss your best options with you.All the best!

A mini lift where a small amount of temporal skin is removed in the direction of the vector you specify would achieve this with minimal downtime.  It would involve an incision around your temporal hairline.  

It sounds like you are a candidate for a Mini-Facelift. My favorite technique is the MACS short scar Mini-Facelift. Developed in Europe, it is the ideal approach for the younger patient, not ready for a full facelift, or patients who desire a less invasive procedure with a shorter recovery time.
