Should I have a Cheeklift/Mid Face Lift or a FaceLift?
If you are mainly concerned about the changes in your mid-face and don’t want the downtime needed with a full-blown facelift. You should consider a Mid -Face Lift because it allows us to “target” specific areas of concern with less healing and downtime.

How long will I be out of work?
Generally Dr. Leong’s patients are presentable and return to work within a week, unless you combine your Mid Face Lift with an Endo Browlift, which most of our clients like to do to achieve the overall optimum result. Then recovery takes a few days longer.

Is there much pain?
There is some discomfort of the first several days after the procedure. This is easily managed with oral pain medication and elevation of
the head.

Is there less bruising and healing time with a Cheeklift/Mid Face Lift?
Yes because Dr. Leong will make smaller incisions (endoscopically). Also, less muscle tightening is done and less tissue is disturbed, so bruising is reduced which allows healing to occur faster.

What about anesthetic?
Dr. Leong will discuss this with you during your consultation. Either a local anesthetic used along with sedation or a general anesthetic can
be used.

Where will my surgery be performed?
Dr. Leong performs his surgeries in a state-of-the-art surgery center or at two large local hospitals.

What can I expect after Cheeklift (Midface Lift) surgery?
Some swelling and bruising is normal and to be expected. This is minimal with this procedure and Dr. Leong’s technique. You will need to keep your head elevated when sleeping for a week or two and avoid strenuous activity such as straining, heavy lifting and bending. The swelling and bruising resolve quickly within a few days. Any discomfort you experience is easily managed with oral pain medication. Many patients use Tylenol.

Who is a good candidate for Cheeklift-Mid Face Lift surgery?
Not everyone, but Dr. Leong is an expert in all surgeries of the face and will be able to determine during your consultation if it is right for you. Good candidates include men and women who are in good health, have realistic expectations and who want to improve the appearance in their mid-face region by restoring sagging cheeks to their more youthful, natural position.

Remember: If it doesn’t look natural – it doesn’t look good. Dr. Leong is skilled in achieving the most natural looking results possible. He’s a specialist and you can trust your face to him.
