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

There are
a number of surgical and non-surgical options that can improve one's cosmetic
appearance: fillers, skin-tightening procedures, lasers, fat contouring, mini-lifts, mid-face lifts, neck
and face lifts. Each has benefits and drawbacks. Mini procedures, while beneficial in the appropriate patient, do not produce
the long lasting maximum improvement that is achieved with a natural appearing artistically
performed lift performed by an expert experienced plastic surgeon. The best
result is often achieved by a combination of elevating the sagging tissues, removing
the excess skin, contouring the fat, and adding micro-fat grafts or fillers
where there is a deficiency.

Keep in
mind, that following the exact advice from a surgeon on this or any other
website who proposes to tell you what to do based without examining you,
physically feeling the tissue, assessing your desired outcome, taking a full
medical history, and discussing the pros and cons of the proposed operative
procedure may not be in your best interest. I would suggest you find a plastic
surgeon certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery and ideally a member
of the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (ASAPS) that you trust
and are comfortable with. You should discuss your concerns with that surgeon in
person.

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.
