Rating: 5 (42 reviews)

Restore youthful fullness, lift the midface, and redefine your cheek contours with natural-looking results.

Bring Back Lift and Lightness to Your Midface

With age, volume in the midface shifts downward, often causing the cheeks to flatten and the under-eyes to appear hollow or tired. This change can subtly age the face, even in people who still feel youthful and vibrant. A cheek lift is a precise surgical procedure that restores lift, contour, and support to the midface, without adding bulk or changing the essence of your appearance. At Canadian Plastic Surgery Centre, Dr. Basil Hassouneh performs cheek lifts with a refined, artistic approach that prioritizes natural-looking, long-lasting rejuvenation.

What Is a Cheek Lift?

Also called a midface lift, a cheek lift repositions the tissues of the midface that have descended due to gravity, aging, or loss of volume. This procedure elevates the fat pads and underlying structures of the cheeks, reducing the look of sagging, hollowing, or prominent nasolabial folds.

Unlike a traditional facelift, which focuses on the lower face and jawline, the cheek lift targets the central third of the face. It is particularly effective for patients in their 40s to early 60s who want rejuvenation without undergoing a full facelift.

The Benefits of a Cheek Lift

Restores youthful volume and shape to the cheeks: The procedure lifts the midface tissues back into a higher position, recreating soft facial curves.
Softens deep folds around the nose and mouth: Elevating the cheeks helps reduce the prominence of nasolabial lines without relying on filler.
Rejuvenates the under-eye area: A lifted cheek can help minimize under-eye hollowing or puffiness, creating a smoother transition from lid to cheek.
Avoids a pulled or overdone look: Dr. Hassouneh uses advanced techniques that preserve your unique features and create a refreshed, not “tightened,” result.
Provides lasting, structural improvement: Results typically last many years and age gracefully, especially when compared to temporary solutions like fillers.

Is a Cheek Lift Right for Me?

A cheek lift may be a good fit if you:

Have deepening nasolabial folds or tired-looking under-eyes
Want to avoid overuse of fillers or non-surgical treatments
Prefer natural-looking results that restore your features
Are in good general health and want a procedure with long-term benefits

The Cheek Lift Process What to Expect

Consultation with Dr. Hassouneh

You’ll meet with your surgeon to discuss your goals, review your facial anatomy, and determine the best approach based on your features and age.

Pre-Op Planning

We’ll walk you through the surgical plan, review all necessary instructions, and ensure you feel fully prepared for a smooth, comfortable experience.

Surgery Day

The cheek lift is typically performed under general anaesthesia. Dr. Hassouneh makes small incisions—often hidden in the hairline or inside the mouth—to access and reposition the midface tissues for a natural lift.

Immediate Recovery Support

After surgery, you’ll be monitored in our recovery suite and go home the same day with detailed post-op instructions. Our team will check in regularly to ensure optimal healing.

Cheek Lift Recovery & Results

Swelling and mild bruising are common for the first 1–2 weeks, with most patients returning to social activities within two weeks. Final results emerge gradually as swelling subsides, revealing more lifted, youthful midface contours.

Because the procedure works by repositioning your tissues, results are natural in motion and evolve beautifully over time. Many patients find they no longer need fillers in the cheeks after surgery.

Cheek Lift FAQ

How is a cheek lift different from a full facelift?

A cheek lift focuses on the midface area, while a facelift targets the jawline, neck, and lower face. Some patients may benefit from combining both procedures for full rejuvenation.

Is a cheek lift the same as a fat transfer?

No. A cheek lift repositions existing tissue, while fat transfer adds volume. If both lift and volume are needed, the two can be combined.

Will there be visible scarring?

Incisions are typically hidden in the hairline or mouth, making scars virtually invisible once healed.

How long do the results last?

Most cheek lift results last 7–10 years, depending on skin quality, age, and lifestyle factors.

Can a cheek lift be combined with eyelid surgery or brow lift?

Yes. Many patients combine procedures to achieve comprehensive facial rejuvenation in a single surgical plan.
