I've heard of doctors putting in cheek implants, and reattaching the cheek muscle higher on the cheek bone under the implant. I'm guessing this 'reattachment' of the cheek muscle to a higher position on the cheek bone is a cheek lift? Is this reattachment of the muscle permanent? Or does the muscle sag/ stretch back to original position after a period of time? If one was to get just a cheek lift (no implant), would this be permanent? Thanks!
Answer: Facial Contouring with Fillers (Juvederm Voluma, Vollure, Volbella, Radiesse, Bellafil), Sculptra, Fat Grafting, Implants Facial sculpting and contouring can be created with well-placed fillers (Voluma, Countour, Radiesse, Bellafill) and Sculptra, which would give improvement in facial balance. Fat or implants are alternatives. I recommend getting a formal evaluation with a facial sculpting expert. Best, Dr. Emer

Answer: Are cheek lifts permanent? Cheek lifts have many synonyms including subperiosteal midface lifts, vertical lifts and endoscopic made facelifts. They are performed either through incisions in the hair of the temple, or through the lower eyelid. I have abandoned the lower eyelid incision approach since it's associated with more complications including lower eyelid retraction ( droop ). I also employ incisions inside the mouth. I have patients who still display dramatically improved appearances 12 years after the original midface lift.Therefore, to answer your question, it is essentially permanent. However, as I tell all my patients, plastic surgery reverses time but time still marches on.

Answer: Cheek lifts There are no muscles in the cheek that are detached and re-attached in a cheek lift (also known as a midface lift). The malar (cheek) fat pad is, however, lifted and suspended over the implant. The implant is placed on the maxillary bone and over part of the masseter muscle. Manipulating any of the facial muscles of expression in the cheek can cause significant complications such as facial weakness or a crooked smile.
