Midface Cheek Lift Bellevue, WA | Yirae Ort MD Facial Aesthetic Surgery

Understanding Cheek Lift Procedures

As the aging process advances, cheeks tend to droop and lose volume, creating a sunken appearance and irregular facial contour. A cheek lift can restore youthful volume and smooth facial curvature, addressing these age-related changes effectively.

What is a Cheek Lift?

A cheek lift is a surgical procedure designed to target loose, sagging cheek tissue by suspending it upward and restoring a more rounded, youthful facial contour. This procedure can be performed independently or combined with other facial rejuvenation techniques like blepharoplasty or facelift surgery.

Cheek Lift Techniques

• Deep cheek lift
• Cheek lift with implant augmentation
• Targeted midface rejuvenation

Ideal Candidates for Cheek Lift

Patients considering a cheek lift may experience the following concerns:

• Cheek sagging
• Heavy or droopy cheeks
• Deep nasolabial folds
• Irregular cheek contour
• Sunken or flat cheeks

Procedure Details

Cheek lifts are typically performed under general anesthesia or IV sedation as an outpatient procedure. The surgery usually takes 2-3 hours, with incisions strategically placed to minimize visible scarring. Dr. Ort uses advanced techniques to suspend cheek tissue and create a smooth, natural-looking result.

Non-Surgical Alternatives

For patients not ready for surgical intervention, cheek fillers offer a temporary solution to volumize and lift cheeks. These treatments can last up to two years with periodic maintenance.

Recovery Expectations

Most patients can return to work or school within a few days after the procedure. Swelling gradually decreases over weeks to months. Patients receive comprehensive post-operative instructions to ensure optimal healing and results.
