Attractive cheeks define the central portion of the face. Full cheeks positioned correctly & naturally lends to a beautifully contoured ogee facial curve, and contributes to the sought after V shape of the face that becomes lost with age.

Descent of cheeks result from repositioning & falling of the skin, fat, bone & muscle loss, and descent of the internal SMAS (superficial musculoaponeurotic system) of the face.

Traditional dermal fillers can result in an unnatural “pillow-face” cheek appearance, weigh down the tissues with excessive swelling, and even accelerate facial aging. Our approach aims to naturally reposition this internal SMAS layer.

We have 3 approaches for natural cheek lifting. All cheek and midface contour options below can be combined with micro & nano fat transfer for enhanced results.

Strategy 1 – Non-surgical PDO thread lifts with a special type of suspension technique to aid uplifting & pulling upwards of the cheek & skin position. This strategy works best for younger patients requiring milder cheek repositioning & lifting, and provides some improvement for approximately 1-2 years.

Strategy 2 – Scarless surgical cheek repositioning for true SMAS lifting of the cheeks. This technique is very effective for creating cheek apples, and uplifting the midface. This strategy works best for middle aged & older patients requiring greater cheek repositioning & lifting, and provides a natural cheek contour for up to 3 years.

Strategy 3 – Cheek silicone implants can be surgically implanted to volumize the midface and cheeks in select cases for beautiful smooth midface contour.
