| The Cheek Lift/ Vertical Cheek
Lift Procedure |
|
| A cheek lift (also called a vertical
cheek lift) can significantly reduce wrinkles, sagging
skin or a depressed appearance in the cheeks. As a
person ages, the cheeks (which are situated over the
cheek bone) descend, aging the lower eyelid and
deepening the upper part of the smile line. A cheek lift
repositions the cheek frame in an upward direction. The
cheek fat is repositioned along with underlying fascia
and muscle, creating more youthful eyes and softening
the smile line. The incisions for the cheek lift are
made beneath the lower eyelash line (similar to an
eyelid tuck or Blepharoplasty surgery). The surgery
takes approximately two and a half hours and most people
are back at work in seven to ten days. |

|
After Your Cheek Lift |
|
| There is a minimal amount of
discomfort following your procedure. There will be
swelling and bruising that may last from seven to ten
days. Keeping your head elevated and applying cold
compresses will help to reduce swelling. As your
incisions heal, you will notice some itching and
possibly some numbness. These symptoms will diminish
over time. You may wear make-up after three days and
your sutures will be removed in seven to ten days.
Strenuous activity is restricted for six weeks. |
