Is There a Way to Lift the Cheeks Vertically Rather Than Horizontally?

April 28, 2012
Asked By:Juliabars in Seattle, WA

I've noticed that in most people 25 and younger, they have less space between the apple of their cheeks and their under-eye area, creating a "lifted" look. Is there a way surgeons can shrink a stretched cheek-to-eye space vertically, neither using fillers to "balloon" the area nor traditional diagonal face-lifts that can create a stretched cat-face look? Or would any type of incision anchor down the under-eye area?
