Midface Lift Atlanta, GA | Dr. Lisa Difrancesco

Understanding the Cheek Lift Procedure

Lifted, sculpted cheeks represent youthful facial contours. As aging progresses, the midface can experience volume loss and sagging, creating a flattened appearance. While dermal fillers offer temporary solutions, a cheek lift surgery provides a long-lasting approach to facial rejuvenation.

What is a Cheek Lift?

A cheek lift, or midface lift, addresses volume loss and sagging in the cheek region. This surgical procedure can complement other facial rejuvenation techniques like facelifts or eyelid surgery. When performed individually, it offers a less invasive option with minimal downtime and significant aesthetic improvements.

Ideal Candidates for Cheek Lift

Candidates for cheek lift typically demonstrate:

• Early signs of midface aging
• Loss of cheek volume
• Minimal skin elasticity
• Previous unsatisfactory results with dermal fillers

Surgical Procedure

The cheek lift is performed under general anesthesia. Dr. Difrancesco carefully repositions fat pads over the cheekbone to create a refreshed appearance. The procedure can be combined with complementary facial surgeries for comprehensive rejuvenation.

Recovery and Results

Recovery from a cheek lift typically involves:

• 1-2 weeks away from work
• Minimal discomfort managed with prescribed medication
• Avoiding strenuous activities for six weeks
• Sleeping with elevated head to minimize swelling

Procedure Longevity

A cheek lift provides long-lasting results, typically maintaining aesthetic improvements for approximately 10 years. While the procedure cannot halt the natural aging process, it significantly restores youthful midface contours.

Additional Benefits

The cheek lift can help minimize the appearance of mild to moderate jowls by lifting surrounding facial tissues, creating a more refined and rejuvenated profile.
