A cheek lift, sometimes referred to as a mid-face lift, is a cosmetic procedure that can take years off of your face. The effects of aging can have a massive impact on one’s face due to the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, volume loss, and skin sagging. A cheek lift can help counteract the negative impacts of aging and restore your youthful look. Below you will find the top benefits of a cheek lift and why the procedure may be right for you.

Top Benefits of a Cheek Lift

If you would like to address the impact of aging on your face, consider the following benefits of a cheek lift.

Combat the Signs of Aging:

Natural aging can take a toll on your body, but so can harmful habits. Smoking, excess alcohol consumption, stress, sun exposure, and not caring for your skin can all take a major toll on your face. A cheek lift can help address the signs of aging, no matter if they are from the effects of natural aging or poor lifestyle habits.

Tightens Skin:

One of the major impacts of aging is skin sagging. Sagging can occur under your eyes and in your cheek area. This is caused by a loss of collagen and elastin. Both collagen and elastin work to keep your skin tight and firm. However, both begin to deplete as early as your late twenties. A mid-facelift surgery in Denver can help tighten your skin and take years off of your face.

Reduces Deep Wrinkles:

Fine lines turn into deep wrinkles if they are not addressed early on. Fine lines and wrinkles are caused by a reduction in the skin’s production of collagen (similar to the cause of skin sagging). Still, a cheek lift can help address deep wrinkles by smoothing them out. This can be maintained after your procedure by getting regular injectable treatments, such as Botulinum Toxin and dermal fillers.

Natural Results:

The point of a cosmetic procedure is to enhance your physical aesthetic. One of the major benefits of a cheek lift is that it looks so natural without looking overdone. The procedure provides major results that are subtle.

Beneficial for All Ages:

Unlike a facelift, a cheek lift is something that can be beneficial for people of all ages. This is because a facelift addresses much more noticeable signs of aging, whereas a cheek lift addresses the signs of aging and enhances your natural look at any age. Facelifts are often something people in their 50s and 60s get. However, a cheek lift can be done as early as your 40s to improve your overall look.

Cheek Lift Procedure

A cheek lift procedure is really helpful for anyone interested in enhancing the look of their face. The procedure targets the areas between the upper corners of your mouth to the corners of your eyes. The surgeon will use small incisions that are strategically placed to reduce the appearance of scarring. The procedure itself takes only an hour on its own. However, it may take longer if you are getting multiple procedures done at the same time. Still, many patients opt for an upper eye lift or lower eyelid surgery in combination with the cheek lift to fully address the signs of aging. The recovery time is short as most patients are back to wearing makeup and contacts within just one week of surgery.

Patients often report an increase in their self-confidence after the procedure. The first step in getting a cheek lift is scheduling a consultation. Contact the team at McCracken Cosmetic Surgery in Denver today for an appointment to see if a cheek lift is right for you!
