Endotine Cheek Lift

Aging happens to all of us. It would be such a great thing if we could have the same skin and muscle quality as we did during our early years, however this isn’t the case. The elasticity of the skin and the tightness of the muscles all deteriorate with time. The sagging and drooping of skin is not just reserved to for the abdomen, upper arms and buttocks. The skin in one’s face is also susceptible to inelasticity. The midface is located below the eyelids down to the mouth. When you progress in age, the skin in the midface will be affected by gravity and it will sag down. What happens is that you get puffy eyelids and circles will develop under your eyes. At the same time, the lines in the midface will become more prominent and visible.

In order to remedy the problem, those with midface dilemma go for an endontine cheek lift. A cheek lift will shape the face back to the way it was years earlier so that the natural contours of the face are recovered. This procedure pulls the skin up and allows the tissues to be anchored to the bone so that drooping effects are eliminated. At the same time, cheeks are given a fuller appearance that will allow you to look younger beyond your years. The idea behind the endontine cheek lift is that the process should achieve a really natural look.

As long as you get a surgeon who is very skilled with performing the procedure, you really don’t have to worry about anything looking overdone. It is essential to produce an effect that doesn’t scream “plastic surgery.” Most of the time, endontine cheek lift procedures are done side by side with other plastic surgery procedures such as eyelid surgery, brow lift and lower face lift. However, younger patients sometimes get the procedure all on its own.

During an endontine cheek lift, the doctor will make tiny incisions in three locations – this can be the upper ear, below the eyelid and below the upper lip. After the small incision is done, an endoscope is placed into the cut in order to elevate the tissues in the midface, pull it off of the cheekbones and then position the tissue either towards the eye or towards the ear. The procedure is done with the help of either a general or a local anesthesia. Sedatives may also be used in lieu of the anesthesia. After the end of the procedure, the patient may go home within the day.

The endontine cheek lift procedure has evolved through the years. Unlike before, surgeons now make use of small tissue holders which keep the cheek tissues secured to its new position. These tissue holders allow for the uniform distribution of force so that irregularities are reduced. Dimples will be less evident and problems encountered during the surgery will be significantly minimized. People who go with this procedure will be able to get back to work in just over two weeks.
