A cheek lift at Lunata Eyelid and Cosmetic Surgery enhances your natural facial contours by gently lifting sagging skin, reducing hollowness, and restoring volume to the mid-face. This procedure improves the appearance of drooping cheeks, deep smile lines, and under-eye bags, offering a refreshed appearance for a long, vibrant life. Our board-certified oculofacial plastic and reconstructive surgeon, Dr. Eliasieh, will ensure the highest quality results.
When your cheeks lose volume and definition…
As you mature, changes in your facial structure can affect the way you feel about your appearance. The soft contours of your cheeks may deflate over time as the underlying fat pads gradually move, leading to a subtle loss of volume and definition. Restoring this volume by gently lifting the cheeks can enhance your facial contours, giving you a refreshed and vibrant appearance that reflects your inner energy and confidence.
What is a cheek lift?
A cheek lift is a cosmetic procedure that can gently lift and restore volume to the mid-face to address sagging skin, hollowed cheeks, and deep smile lines. By repositioning the underlying tissues, this procedure revitalizes your facial structure without drastically altering your features. Dr. Kasra Eliasieh’s light touch approach ensures subtle, balanced results, enhancing your facial contours while maintaining a soft, natural look. A cheek lift can help you look more rested and vibrant, with results that age gracefully over time.
The steps involved in your cheek lift
Your cheek lift begins with a detailed consultation, during which Dr. Eliasieh listens to your concerns and evaluates your facial structure. During the procedure, small, discreet incisions are made near the hairline or inside the mouth to lift and reposition the tissues in your mid-face. Dr. Eliasieh carefully repositions the underlying fat pads, restoring volume to the cheeks and smoothing out deep lines without overstretching the skin.
After your procedure, you will experience a brief recovery period. Dr. Eliasieh will provide personalized aftercare instructions to help you heal quickly and comfortably. Swelling and bruising are common for the first few days, but these gradually fade, revealing your refreshed, lifted appearance. You can expect to return to normal activities within a week or so, with final results continuing to improve over the following weeks.
