Rejuvenate Your Smile Lines and Cheek Contours
What is it?
A cheek lift in Brazil (mid-face lift) restores volume and elevates sagging in the middle third of the face. It smooths deep smile lines (nasolabial folds) and redefines youthful cheek contours. For patients not ready for a full facelift, it’s an effective, targeted alternative.
Who are the Ideal Candidates?
– Adults noticing sagging cheeks or hollowing under the eyes.
– Patients with deepening smile lines but good skin elasticity.
– Healthy non-smokers who want a refreshed mid-face without a full facelift.
Who Should Avoid This Procedure?
– Patients with uncontrolled diabetes, heart disease, or high blood pressure.
– Individuals with blood clotting issues or taking strong anticoagulants.
– People with autoimmune or collagen disorders affecting skin healing.
– Heavy smokers unwilling to quit temporarily.
– Those expecting a complete full-face rejuvenation (better suited to a facelift).
Recovery Process
– 1–2 weeks: Most swelling and bruising subside.
– 2–3 weeks: Return to work/social activities.
– Results last 7–10 years.
FAQs

– When can I wear makeup again? Usually after 7–10 days.
– Does it affect the eyes? It can reduce under-eye hollowing but doesn’t replace eyelid surgery.
