Mid cheek lift OK to work on patients who had submalar/malar inserted?

2574anonJun 17, 2023

I had submalar/malar implant inserted years ago to rescue the damaging cheek from previous blotched procedure. However with the implants they only lifted 50% of the drooping cheek and I now still have jowl around corner of my mouth + deep nasolabial fold. Has any surgeons had any success to work with patients w submalar/malar implants inserted to perform a mid cheek lift to lift up the jowl around corner of mouth?

Nasolabial folds are normal as we age. The flatness below your eyes in the medial area of your cheek can be improved with cheek implants rather than a cheek lift. A lot depends on the look that you are trying to achieve.

I recommend fillers to soften the nasolabial folds themselves and also lift around the mouth and cheeks to build underlying anatomical support. In our practice we combine Sculptra with other fillers "layered" on top and lasers, skin tightening treatments such as Thermage, Fractora, and Renuvion...

It is difficult to evaluate your cheeks if you only provide us with smiling pictures. The best way to lift your cheeks is through the lower eyelids by suspending your mid face to the bone on the side of the eye sockets. Please post or send non smiling pictures.
