Mid-Facelift (Cheek Lift) in Denver, Colorado

With aging, fat pads within the cheek can slip from their natural position over the cheekbones, and the tissue of the cheek can begin to sag.  This loss of cheek volume can cause a hollow appearance under the eyes or a tear trough around the lower lid.  By lifting the mid-face tissue, Dr. Michael McCracken can fill in the hollowness and restore a youthful contour.

Mid-facelift surgery (cheek lift)

During a mid-facelift in Denver, Dr. McCracken will make small incisions, which may be hidden in the corner of the eye (“crow’s feet”), the inside of the lower eyelid, and the upper eyelid crease. Through these incisions, Dr. McCracken will lift the fat pads to a more natural position.
