Understanding Cheek Mid-Facelift Aging Process

One of the earliest signs of aging occurs in the cheek, or mid-face region. The natural fat pads positioned strategically beneath the skin begin to descend, creating visible changes in facial contour. This descent produces common cheek "festoons" and prominent nasolabial folds, which can appear as early as ages 30-35.

Anatomical Changes in the Mid-Face

• Fat pads slip from the cheekbone's "top of the mountain" position
• Gravity contributes to facial tissue descent
• Nasolabial folds become more pronounced

Cheek Mid-Facelift Surgical Approach

Dr. Bassin performs a specialized transconjunctival subperiosteal cheek mid-facelift, uniquely designed to restore youthful facial contours without artificial implants. By accessing the surgical site through the lower eyelid, the procedure achieves natural-looking results with minimal visible scarring.

Surgical Procedure Details

• Protective contact lens placed over the eye
• Incision made inside the lower eyelid
• Cheek mid-face unit elevated and reattached to eye corner bone
• Approximately 90-minute procedure

Recovery and Expectations

Patients can expect bruising and swelling for up to one week following the procedure. Ice packs are applied post-surgery, and the first post-operative appointment typically occurs six days after the surgery. The procedure can be combined with lower eyelid blepharoplasty for comprehensive facial rejuvenation.

Surgical Principles

• No foreign material implantation
• Natural lifting direction
• Minimal invasive technique
