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?
Answer: Vertical Cheek Lift
Cheek Lift Can be Performed through Lower Lid
The answer is YES. Using a lower lid, blepharoplasty approach, the cheek fat ("SOOF") can be advanced and attached to the fibrous tissue on the lower orbit bone (called periosteum). This tends to improve the cheek fullness and the hollowing that occurs in many lower lids. This procedure is called a cheek lift or midface lift.

Answer: Is There a Way to Lift the Cheeks Vertically Rather Than Horizontally? Thank you for your question. The mid-face region roughly correlates with the area between the lower eyelid and the corner of the mouth. You are correct to suggest that a more vertical vector of lifting is preferred in the mid-facial region as compared with the lower facial region. A mid-face lift, sometimes referred to as a cheek lift, can help to restore fullness to the mid-face by vertically repositioning the soft tissue of the cheek to a higher, more youthful position on the cheek bone. At the same time, lower eyelid appearance is often improved as the repositioned cheek tissue is more favorably redraped over the lower orbital rim, minimizing the unfavorable hollow appearance of the lower eye region. A well performed mid-face lift can be a powerful method for facial rejuvenation. Learn more about this procedure on our site. Warm regards.

Answer: You can lift the cheeks to where they use to be but it doesn't have to be a midface lift
IMO midface lifts are not a good procedure. They don't really do what you want them to do. There are new thoughts out there on how to rejuvenate people's faces in a younger and natural way. There are incision less face lift alternatives out there.

Answer: Cheek lift
Hi,
You are exactly right in what happens as we get older. In a youthful face, you can't tell where the eyelid ends and the cheek begins. Personally, I think adding volume to the under eye area and upper cheeks will help get you where you want to be.
This can be done with Restylane, Juvederm, and even fat transfer.
Best,
Nima Shemirani
