Cheek Lift and Cheek Implants
Cheek lift, also known as a midface lift, is a surgical procedure that aims to lift and tighten the skin on the cheeks, reduce the appearance of wrinkles and sagging, and restore the youthful contour of the midface. Cheek lift surgery can be done on its own or in combination with other facial rejuvenation procedures, such as a facelift or neck lift.
Cheek implants, on the other hand, are a type of facial implant that is designed to enhance the volume and projection of the cheeks. They are made of silicone or other biocompatible materials and are surgically inserted into the cheeks through incisions inside the mouth or under the lower eyelids. Cheek implants can create a more defined cheekbone structure and improve the overall balance and symmetry of the face.
Procedure
A cheek lift surgery can take anywhere from 1 to 3 hours to complete, depending on the complexity of the procedure. The duration of a cheek implant procedure is typically shorter than a cheek lift, usually taking about 1 hour to complete.
Recovery
For a cheek lift surgery, the initial recovery period is typically around 1-2 weeks. During this time, patients may experience swelling, bruising, and discomfort around the surgical area. The recovery time for a cheek implant is generally shorter.
Anesthesia
Both cheek lift and cheek implant procedures are typically performed under general anesthesia, which means that the patient will be asleep and not feel any pain or discomfort during the surgery.

Who Qualifies for Cheek Lift/Implants?
For patients looking to freshen the look of their face with more permanent results than what injectable treatments can offer – and a more subtle, less expensive, less invasive procedure than a full Facelift – a Cheek Lift may be just what you are looking for. If you have used soft tissue fillers for temporary results in the past, implants offer a permanent solution.If you are struggling with loss of facial structure due to age, injury or disease, or are simply interested in improving the contours of your cheeks, implants can provide the fullness and proportion you need to feel your best. Cheek Implants can improve the projection of the cheekbones and add volume to flat or recessed planes in the face. Implants are made from special bio-compatible materials such as silicon and polyethylene and are made to fit any anatomy. There are many options for materials and placement, and Dr. Rogers will work closely with you to help you make the best choices for your anatomy.
