Keep reading to find out whether you should get a cheek lift or Juvederm® Voluma fillers.
What is a Cheek Lift?
Also known as a mid-face lift, a cheek lift is a procedure designed to improve the look of sagging cheeks and the lower eyelid regions. During this procedure, Dr. Schalit will make incisions within the hairline of your temple so that he could access the fat pads within your cheeks. Once he makes the incisions, he’ll place suture loops through your fat pads and lift them. You’ll be left with a younger, well-rested complexion.
Who Is a Good Candidate for a Cheek Lift?
Cheek lifts are recommended for patients with significant sagging in the mid-facial region. They should also be in good general health and quit smoking at least two weeks before the procedure. If you have significant sagging in your cheeks, a cheek lift may provide you with the very best results.
