Restoring Youthful Contours Through Advanced Technique

Dr. Mehdi Sina brings specialized expertise in midface rejuvenation to patients seeking natural, balanced results. As a fellowship-trained facial plastic and reconstructive surgeon, one of only 46 nationwide to complete this elite post-residency training, Dr. Sina focuses exclusively on procedures of the face, eyes, and neck.

The midface is where some of the earliest, most impactful signs of aging appear, and addressing this area requires both technical precision and an artistic eye for facial harmony.

What Is a Cheek Lift?

A cheek lift, also known as a midface lift, is a surgical procedure designed to elevate and reposition the soft tissues of the middle third of the face.

Unlike a traditional facelift that targets the lower face and neck, a cheek lift specifically addresses the area around the cheeks, lower eyelids, and upper nasolabial folds.

Benefits of a Cheek Lift

A cheek lift in Las Vegas offers transformative improvements, such as:

Restored cheek volume and projection: The procedure lifts flattened or descended cheek tissue back to a more youthful position.
Improved under-eye appearance: Reduces hollowing, bags, and the "tear trough" deformity beneath the lower eyelids.
Softened nasolabial folds: Diminishes the depth of smile lines by restoring midface support.
More defined facial contours: Enhances the natural "ogee curve" of the cheek for balanced facial aesthetics.
Refreshed, less tired appearance: Addresses the hollow, aged look that makes patients appear fatigued.
Natural-looking results: When performed by a skilled facial plastic surgeon, outcomes appear harmonious and undetectable.
Long-lasting rejuvenation: Results typically last approximately 10 years, significantly longer than non-surgical options.
Targeted correction: Shorter procedure duration and recovery time compared to a traditional facelift.

Are You a Candidate for a Cheek Lift?

Ideal candidates for cheek lift surgery typically present with specific anatomical concerns related to midface aging. You may be a candidate for a cheek lift if you:

Notice flattening or descent of the cheeks, creating a tired or aged appearance
Experience deepening nasolabial folds (smile lines) that bother you aesthetically
Want to address midface aging without undergoing a full facelift
Are in good overall physical health with no medical conditions that impair healing
Do not smoke, or are willing to quit smoking before and after surgery
Have realistic expectations about what the procedure can achieve
Are looking for long-term improvement rather than temporary enhancement

It's important to understand that a cheek lift specifically targets the middle third of the face. It does not address concerns of the lower face (such as jowls), the neck, or the upper face (such as brow position). Patients with these additional concerns may benefit from combining a cheek lift with other procedures, such as a facelift, neck lift, or brow lift.

Procedure Steps

Cheek lift surgery is typically performed as an outpatient procedure and takes approximately 90 minutes to two hours, depending on the technique used and whether it's combined with other treatments.
The steps include:

Anesthesia: The procedure is performed under general anesthesia or conscious sedation to ensure your comfort and safety throughout surgery.
Incision Placement: Depending on the chosen technique, incisions may be placed in the lower eyelid (transconjunctival approach), within the hairline (endoscopic approach), or in front of the ear (similar to a facelift incision). Dr. Sina strategically places incisions to minimize visible scarring.
Fixation: The elevated tissues are secured in their new position using internal sutures or anchoring devices. This fixation ensures long-lasting results and prevents the tissue from descending again prematurely.
Tissue Release and Repositioning: The surgeon carefully releases the descended midface tissues from their attachments and elevates the malar fat pad off the underlying bone. The cheek tissue is then repositioned to a higher, more aesthetically pleasing position over the cheekbone.
Fat Management and Skin Redraping: If necessary, excess fat is removed or repositioned, and the skin is gently redraped for a smooth, natural contour.
Incision Closure: Incisions are meticulously closed with fine sutures designed to heal with minimal scarring.

Recovery and Results

After your cheek lift, mild swelling, bruising, and tightness are normal and most noticeable during the first week. Light facial dressings, head elevation, and cold compresses help manage discomfort, with sutures typically removed within seven days. By weeks two to three, swelling and bruising subside, and many patients feel ready to return to work and light activities.

Over the following months, the cheeks gradually settle into their natural position, revealing refined contours. Final results become fully apparent around three to six months, and the effects of the procedure are long-lasting—typically providing a rejuvenated midface for up to a decade.
