5 Benefits of a Minimally Invasive Cheek Lift
The midface connects your eyes, nose, and mouth and is very influential on your facial appearance. Aging changes the cheek and midface area that covers from the inner corners of your eyes to the outside of your mouth. This triangular space changes as the volume in and under the skin dissipates with age, and the buccal fat pads in the cheek begin to sag.
A check or midface lift can restore volume under the skin and bring the buccal fat pads back to rest on the cheekbones. This can have incredible results that affect the eyes, cheek contours, and nose/mouth. Here are six benefits you can achieve with a minimally-invasive cheek lift at Kami Parsa MD Oculoplastic Surgery in Beverly Hills, CA.
1. Youthful Facial Contours
When the cheeks lose fat and the tissue sags, the youthful cheek contours flatten. By lifting the fat pads, you create prominent and desirable cheekbones. Some patients may need liposuction to remove certain fat deposits while others may benefit from a fat transfer or cheek implant to enhance their cheeks once they are lifted.
2. Plump Your Tear Troughs
The tear troughs, the half-moon grooves that start at your inner eyes, can become deep and pronounced when your cheeks sag. Lifting the cheeks can help plump the tear troughs and smooth away circles under the eyes.
3. Smooth Smile Lines
Smile lines occur around the nose and mouth, creating an indent along the nasolabial fold. The heavy, sagging cheeks and loss of skin elasticity create these parentheses around the lower nose and upper mouth. Lifting the cheeks can smooth the nasolabial fold for a more youthful appearance in the lower cheek area.
4. Reduce Eye Bags
Puffy bags under the eyes are a common problem as you get older, making you look perpetually tired. The lower eyelids are prone to sagging which can be made worse when the upper cheeks sag. By lifting the cheeks and restoring youthful contours, the transition between the lower eyelid and cheek is smoother. This can make eye bags less noticeable, even without an eyelid lift.
5. Quick Recovery
Minimally-invasive cheek lifts use small incisions that are carefully placed to reduce any visible scars – some methods can place the incisions inside the eyelids to hide them from view. Dr. Parsa uses advanced techniques that can help minimize pain and shorten recovery for his patients. He customizes each cheek lift to the patient and offers variations of endoscopic cheek and SOOF lifts to create the desired results.
If your midface looks flat or droopy, or your lower eyelids have pronounced bags or tear troughs, a cheek lift may be the solution.
