Mid-Facelift Cheek Lift in Scottsdale, AZ | Arizona Oculoplastic Specialists

What is a Cheek Lift?

A cheek lift, also known as a mid-facelift, addresses aging signs in the mid-face region. As collagen and elastin decrease, skin loses elasticity, causing sagging, elongated lower eyelids, jowls, and cheekbone hollowing. Arizona Oculoplastic Specialists offers a specialized mid-facelift procedure that repositions and augments underlying facial tissues to restore a youthful appearance.

Are You a Candidate for a Cheek Lift?

Ideal candidates for a cheek lift include individuals experiencing:

• Moderate to severe skin laxity
• Sunken cheeks
• Prominent nasolabial folds
• Under-eye hollowness

The Cheek Lift Procedure

Performed under general anesthesia or twilight sedation, the cheek lift involves strategic incisions in the lower eyelid or hairline. Dr. Ghafouri carefully lifts underlying muscles and trims excess skin to enhance natural facial features. The procedure typically takes 1-2 hours and allows patients to return home the same day.

Recovery and Results

Initial recovery involves mild swelling and bruising, manageable with prescribed medication. Patients can usually return to work within 10 days, with final results visible approximately six weeks post-surgery. Strenuous activities should be avoided during the initial two-week healing period.

Complementary Procedures

• Brow Lift
• Facial Fat Grafting
