Is cheek lift through incision in the mouth common in Europe & what is it called?

Im very interested in having a cheek / midface lift however due to previous eye surgery and negative vector, eye lid incisions would be a risk for me. I dont wish to undergo a full facelift as only mid face has any issue and id prefer to avoid even minor scars around the ears.
