Can Transconjunctival Blepharoplasty Also Lift, Remove or Tighten Cheek Muscle?

MsCautious
My sister had both uper and lower eyelid done in Palo Alto. She told me that her doctor lifted the cheek muscle besides repositioning fat and pinched the skin under the eyes. Is it true that cheek muscle can be lifted with this procedure? She looks gorgeous.
