Cheek Lift Bluffton, SC | Mathew Epps MD Plastic Surgery/FACE Aesthetics Medical Spa Bluffton

Understanding Cheek Lift Surgery

A cheek lift, also known as a midface lift, is a sophisticated surgical procedure designed to address age-related facial changes. The technique manipulates sagging skin to create a more youthful and rejuvenated appearance by elevating the malar fat pad in the cheeks.

Procedure Benefits

• Restores volume to hollowed cheek and eye areas
• Reduces signs of facial aging
• Improves overall facial contour and symmetry

Ideal Candidates for Cheek Lift Surgery

Candidates for cheek lift surgery typically include individuals experiencing advanced facial aging who have not achieved desired results through non-surgical treatments. Optimal candidates demonstrate:

• A positive, realistic outlook
• Good overall health
• No medical conditions that impair healing
• Non-smokers

Surgical Approach

Mathew Epps MD Plastic Surgery performs cheek lift procedures under general anesthesia, often as an outpatient surgery. When combined with additional facial rejuvenation techniques, an overnight stay might be recommended.

Recovery and Results

Recovery timelines vary based on individual healing processes. Most patients experience significant surgical healing within two weeks, with complete recovery occurring around two months post-procedure. Light activity is encouraged during the initial healing phase.

Long-Term Maintenance

While a cheek lift effectively addresses current aging signs, it cannot permanently halt the aging process. Patients are encouraged to maintain results through:

• Consistent skincare routine
• Adequate sun protection
• Healthy lifestyle practices
