Cheeklift - New Jersey

The cheeks begin to fall as aging occurs and as the effects of gravity become apparent. This produces "heavy areas" in two main places. First, extra tissue gathers at the line between the nose and lips called the nasolabial crease. Second, bags can form in the area of the cheekbone near the eyes. Also, as the facial tissue droops, the bone around the eyes become more apparent. All of these things contribute to a less youthful look.

A regular facelift does not address these problems very well, and while the cheeks may look better immediately after a facelift, in a few months they usually begin to look the same as before the facelift. A facelift is done primarily to improve the lower cheek, jawline, and neck.

A cheeklift specifically addresses the areas of the cheek that need improvement and two different procedures are performed:

  • Subperiosteal Cheeklift - A small incision in the hairline and a small incision under lip are needed, but no incision is made on the face. Endoscopic cameras and instruments are used to elevate the tissues and raise the cheeks to their natural location. This procedure is best for the bags that occur over the cheekbone next to the eyes.

  • Percutaneous Cheeklift - A small incision is made in the hairline and two tiny incisions are made in the nasolabial fold. Stitches are then passed through the incisions to grasp the extra cheek tissue and elevate it to a better position. This procedure is best for cheek heaviness at the nasolabial folds.

A cheeklift can be performed with other procedures if necessary and can done in our private surgical center. Fat injection is often done to further improve the nasolabial folds as well as other areas of the cheeks and face. Our plastic surgeon will discuss the procedure that is the best for you.

Cheek & Chin Implants

Subtle implants are placed to improve a chin profile or highlight more prominent cheek bones. A chin implant can improve the neckline and make a large nose appear smaller. The implant is often placed at the same time as these other procedures. The cheek implants are placed through tiny incisions under the lip so no incision is seen. The result is usually totally natural, simply enhancing the area where the cheekbones are supposed to be.

Rhinoplasty - Nose Reshaping

Refining and straightening the nose can lead to a more pleasing appearance. Bumps can be removed; the profile straightened and wide nasal tips or nostrils can be thinned - all through hidden incisions. This procedure is sometimes performed simultaneously with correction of a deviated septum and clogged sinuses to help improve breathing and eliminate headaches.

The healing process usually takes about one week and can be performed in the comfort of our private surgery center.
