Cheek Lift Atlanta by DiFrancesco Plastic Surgery
Midface Lift in Atlanta, GA
Understanding the Midface Lift Procedure
Lifted, sculpted cheeks are often a result of youthful contours and facial rejuvenation. As midfacial aging occurs, shifting contours can flatten and cause an aged appearance. A midface lift surgery addresses these changes by restoring volume and lifting cheek tissues.
What is a Midface Lift?
A midface lift, sometimes called a cheek lift, addresses the cheeks and surrounding facial area. This procedure can be particularly beneficial when paired with other facial rejuvenation options like a facelift or eyelid surgery. When performed independently, it offers a less invasive approach to facial rejuvenation with minimal downtime.
Ideal Candidates for Midface Lift
The midface lift is most appropriate for patients experiencing early signs of aging in the cheeks and midface region, such as:
- Excess skin in the cheek area
- Loss of facial volume
- Flattened cheek contours
Midface Lift Procedure Details
DiFrancesco Plastic Surgery performs the midface lift under general anesthesia. Dr. DiFrancesco carefully repositions fat pads over the cheekbone to create a refreshed, youthful appearance. The procedure can be combined with other facial surgeries for comprehensive rejuvenation.
Recovery and Aftercare
Recovery from a midface lift typically involves minimal downtime compared to traditional facelift surgery. Patients can expect:
- 1-2 weeks away from work or social activities
- Avoidance of heavy physical activity for six weeks
- Management of temporary swelling and discomfort
