A Custom Cheek Lift Is Transformative
Are you unhappy with cheeks that seem deflated, or displeased with deep creases between your nose and mouth? One of the earliest symptoms of aging is a loss of fat volume and skin elasticity in the mid-face. At The Piazza Center in Austin, Texas, patients come to Dr. Rocco Piazza hoping to look refreshed and younger. Some don't yet show significant signs of aging in the brow or lower face, meaning a full facelift isn't the best choice — a cheek lift is ideal instead.
At a Glance
Everything You Need to Know
Best For
Patients with early sagging or volume loss in the cheeks and under-eye area who don't yet show significant aging in the brow or lower face — and whose results from dermal fillers alone have started to fall short.
The Technique
Small, precise incisions in the hairline and around the ears give access to the muscles and tissues of the cheeks. The sagging fat pads and ligaments of the mid-face are carefully elevated and repositioned upward before incisions are closed.
Results Duration
Improvements typically last 3–8 years, extending longer for some patients who maintain a consistent skincare routine, healthy diet, and regular exercise.
Why Choose a Cheek Lift
The benefits,
naturally restored.
Over time, the fat pads that once rested comfortably on the upper cheek just below the eye lose volume and sag — causing hollows, dark circles, and a loose, tired look. A cheek lift repositions those muscles and tissues, restoring a more youthful, naturally plump contour without the more extensive correction of a full facelift.
- 01
Restored Volume
Cheeks appear naturally plump and full again, rather than deflated or hollow.
- 02
Softer Under-Eyes
Hollows and dark circles beneath the eyes improve significantly.
- 03
Smoother Folds
Deep creases between the nose and mouth are smoothed and corrected.
- 04
Repositioned Tissue
Sagging mid-face muscles and fat pads are lifted back into place.
- 05
Refreshed Look
A rested, more youthful appearance without looking overfilled or altered.
- 06
Less Extensive
A more targeted correction than a full facelift, for patients who don't need one yet.
- 07
Long-Lasting
Results last 3–8 years, longer for patients who maintain their results.
- 08
Natural Results
A comprehensive approach to skin tone, texture, and bone structure for a natural look.
Cheek Lift &
Dermal Fillers.
Surgery alone doesn't stop the aging process. To keep results looking their best for as long as possible, a cheek lift is often paired with dermal fillers — addressing skin tone and texture alongside the surgical correction of volume and position for a result that looks and feels completely natural.

Is a cheek lift
right for you?
Every cheek lift begins with a one-on-one consultation, during which Dr. Piazza listens carefully to your goals and examines your mid-face to determine whether a cheek lift — rather than a more comprehensive facelift, or dermal fillers alone — is the right approach for you.

Maintaining Your Results
Surgery does not stop the aging process. Improvements after a cheek lift will last anywhere from 3–8 years, extending longer for some patients. To keep results looking their best for as long as possible, it's important to maintain a consistent at-home skincare routine, a healthy diet, and regular exercise.
At The Piazza Center, we offer both surgical and nonsurgical cheek rejuvenation, and find that a comprehensive approach — addressing skin tone and texture, bone structure, and muscle movement together — is the best way to ensure results that look and feel natural.
Anesthesia
An Exceptional Anesthesia Experience
We have listened to our patients, and in an effort to reduce the uncertainty of the anesthesia experience, The Piazza Center has developed a collaborative relationship with Dr. Cady to deliver an exceptional anesthesia experience for patients undergoing a cheek lift.
