Does a cheek lift require surgery?Two alternatives exist for improving cheek volume and contour: surgical and non-surgical. In patients with more advanced facial aging or after significant weight loss, a midface lift would be a surgical option to help lift saggy cheeks. Many surgeons like to complement the lifting effect of the surgery with a fat grafting procedure to achieve a more natural and harmonious result. Due to poor maxillary bone support, individuals with flat cheeks are great candidates for cheek implants. Non-surgical cheek enhancement with dermal fillers is a valid alternative to a surgical lift in younger patients with mild facial aging.
