Aesthetic facial plastic surgery experienced a significant boost in popularity during the 20th century. However, the importance of cheek rejuvenation was widely ignored until the 21st century. The reason for this was mainly a lack of appreciation for the role of cheek volume and contour in facial appearance. Fortunately, we have come a long way in our understanding of the aging process and how it affects this anatomical area.

Aging of the midface is caused by multiple factors including loss of fat, decreased skin elasticity, and laxity of cheek ligaments. No cheek ages in the same way and any attempt to rejuvenate this area should be personalized. At ArteFacial, we understand the role of the midface and its anatomical complexities in the appearance of our patients, and we rely on the most advanced surgical techniques to address this area according to their physiognomy and expectations.

Lower eyelid blepharoplasty is the only procedure that can safely and significantly reduce the appearance of bags and wrinkles underneath the eyes and offer long-lasting results. This operation involves multiple steps, some or all of which may be required to achieve the best cosmetic result. Direct excision of excess skin is the best option in patients whose primary complaints are wrinkles and saggy skin. On the other hand, removal or repositioning of orbital fat is the go-to procedure in those mainly bothered by the presence of bags and puffiness. It is essential to employ both steps in patients who present bags, wrinkles, and excess skin.
