Cheek Lift at UE Plastic Surgery Clinic

As we age, skin elasticity and midface volume naturally decrease, causing the cheeks to descend and creating a tired or aged appearance. A cheek lift — also known as a midface lift — is a highly effective procedure designed to reposition and elevate the midface tissues, restoring youthful fullness, smooth contours, and a refreshed under-eye and cheek area.

At UE Plastic Surgery in Gangnam, our experienced surgeons specialize in advanced facial rejuvenation techniques that lift and contour the midface while maintaining your natural beauty. We are committed to delivering refined, subtle, and long-lasting results tailored to each patient’s unique facial structure.

Why Choose Cheek Lift Surgery?

A cheek lift can help:

• Elevate sagging or flattened cheeks
• Restore youthful midface volume
• Improve under-eye hollows and reduce puffiness
• Soften nasolabial folds (smile lines)
• Create a smoother transition between the eyelids and cheeks
• Complement other facial rejuvenation procedures

Our focus is on natural enhancement — refreshing your features without creating an overdone or “pulled” look.

Personalized Approach at UE Plastic Surgery

Each cheek lift at UE Plastic Surgery is fully customized to your:

• Facial anatomy
• Skin elasticity
• Aging pattern
• Aesthetic goals

Surgical Techniques May Include:

• Subperiosteal Cheek Lift: Elevates deeper tissues for dramatic midface rejuvenation.
• SMAS Cheek Lift: Tightens the deeper facial support layer for long-lasting lift and definition.
• Combined Lower Blepharoplasty: Often performed together for complete under-eye and midface harmony.

During your consultation, our surgical team will design a treatment plan tailored to create the most balanced, flattering outcome for your features.

Consultation & Surgical Planning

Your journey begins with an in-depth consultation, where we:

• Analyze your midface aging pattern and facial proportions
• Discuss desired results and expectations
• Explain recommended techniques and incision approach
• Share past case results (before & after photos)
• Review recovery timeline and aftercare

We believe in honest communication and detailed planning to ensure confidence and clarity before surgery.

Cheek Lift Procedure: What to Expect

• Anesthesia: Typically performed under general anesthesia
• Duration: 1.5 to 3 hours
• Outpatient: Most patients return home the same day

Surgical Process:

1. Incisions concealed along the lower eyelid or in the hairline
2. Tissue repositioning to restore youthful cheek contour
3. Subtle tightening of deeper layers (if SMAS technique used)
4. Fine sutures for minimal scarring

A light compression dressing may be applied temporarily after the procedure.

Recovery & Aftercare

You may experience mild swelling or bruising, which typically improves over 1–2 weeks.

Post-care instructions include:

• Keep your head elevated
• Apply cold compresses as directed
• Avoid heavy activity for 2–4 weeks
• Attend follow-up visits for proper healing

Most patients resume light daily activities within 7–10 days, with final results becoming clearer as swelling subsides.

Natural, Youthful Results

A cheek lift at UE Plastic Surgery delivers:

• Restored cheek volume and contour
• Softer, smoother under-eye and midface transition
• Refreshed, youthful appearance without looking “done”

With proper care and healthy lifestyle habits, results are long-lasting and highly satisfying.
