A mid-face or cheek lift is a surgical treatment designed to improve the look of your cheeks and nasolabial folds. The fat overlying the cheek descends with age so people experience a flattened look of the cheek and more prominent nasolabial folds in addition to loosening of the corners of the mouth. This procedure helps to re-elevate the malar fat pad to reinstate lost volume to the cheeks, reduce the look of nasolabial folds, and raise the corners of the mouth.

We know that every individual has unique needs and anatomy. This is why we examine every individual and then offer a personalized surgical option.
Dr Haque will raise the malar fat pad and bring back the natural, full appearance of the cheeks without any marks with the help of a 2-3 cm incision at the back of the hairline. Generally, the treatment takes one hours to complete and the recovery time is shorter compared to more invasive mid-face lift procedures. This procedure is performed under local anesthesia. Patients usually get back home the same day.
