Cheek Lift

What Is a Cheek Lift?

As we age, our skin loses elasticity and begins to sag due to gravity, collagen depletion, and fat loss. A cheek lift is a powerful anti-aging treatment that restores youthful volume and contour to your midface, giving you a fresher, more vibrant appearance.

Unlike a traditional facelift that targets the lower face and neck, a cheek lift specifically focuses on lifting the midface, enhancing cheek projection, reducing smile lines, and improving facial harmony.

Types of Cheek Lifts

At Dr. Akbari’s Golden Rose Clinic, cheek lifts are performed both surgically and non-surgically, based on your goals and skin condition.

Non-Surgical Cheek Lift Methods

Thread Cheek Lift (Cheek Lift Without Surgery)

This minimally invasive technique involves inserting dissolvable threads under the skin to lift sagging tissue. It offers immediate results with little downtime and lasts between 1 to 3 years.

Benefits:

• Instant lifting effect

• Stimulates natural collagen production

• No general anesthesia required

Cheek Fillers (Hyaluronic Acid Gel)

Fillers restore lost volume and contour using hyaluronic acid, a substance naturally found in the skin. Results typically last 6 to 12 months.

Best For:

• Volume loss without severe sagging

• Natural plump and hydration

Fat Transfer Cheek Lift

Fat is harvested from your body, purified, and then injected into the cheeks. This method provides natural-looking, long-lasting results with minimal risk of allergic reactions.

Ideal For:

• Patients seeking organic enhancement

• Long-term results with minimal invasiveness

Endotine Cheek Lift (Minimally Invasive Surgical Option)

This technique uses biodegradable Endotine implants placed under the skin to lift and support the midface. It requires only small incisions and delivers results that can last up to 10 years.

Why Choose It:

• Semi-permanent

• Precise midface elevation

Facial Yoga for Cheek Lifting (Home-based Natural Method)

This method involves facial exercises to strengthen and tone muscles. While results are subtle, it can help maintain cheek structure in younger individuals.

Surgical Cheek Lift Options

Endoscopic Cheek Lift: Precision with Minimal Scarring

The endoscopic cheek lift uses small incisions and an endoscope (a tiny camera) to reposition deeper tissues and lift the midface.

Benefits:

• Long-lasting natural results

• Less scarring and shorter recovery

• Performed under local or general anesthesia

Classic Cheek Lift Surgery

In this traditional technique, surgeons make precise incisions in the hairline or temples to lift the cheek tissues manually.

Ideal For:

• Patients seeking permanent, dramatic transformation

• Those with severe sagging

Who Is an Ideal Candidate for a Cheek Lift?

You may benefit from a cheek lift if:

• You have midface sagging or hollow cheeks

• You’re noticing deep smile lines (nasolabial folds)

• You want a refreshed, youthful look without overfilling

Comparing Cheek Lift with Threads vs. Fillers

Combination of both methods is often recommended for optimal results.

Combined Cheek & Temple Lift

For patients seeking complete upper face rejuvenation, we often recommend a cheek lift + temporal lift combination. This dual approach:

• Elevates the cheeks

• Lifts outer brows and eye corners

• Enhances the overall youthful appearance
