Cheek Mound Lift Toronto

Fallen cheek mounds result in deep lip cheek
grooves. Lifting the cheek mound performed
through an incision in front of the ear or beside
the eye and the mound is lifted and repositioned
in a more lateral and upward position thus lessening the depth of the groove. Thread or
feather suspension (suture) suspension techniques can be used with minimal down time.
Sometimes Gore-TexT and other permanent
fillers are inserted in the groove to decrease its
depth.

The best candidate for a cheek mound lift is a man or woman who is physically healthy, realistic in their expectations, and interested in reducing the appearance of deep lip-cheek grooves. The cheek mound lift procedure can take place in a surgeon's office-based facility, an outpatient surgical center, or in a hospital. General anesthesia or a combination of local anesthesia and sedation is most often used.

When thread or feather suspension techniques are used, there is minimal downtime after the procedure. Procedures which involve Gore-Tex or other permanent fillers typically involve a more lengthy recovery period. In addition, some amount of swelling and bruising is common.
