Check lift (paint lift)

Malar lifting is a surgery, which allows to perform the midface lifting through subciliary access (incision made under the lashes of the lower eyelid). In fact, it is a combined technique that combines blepharoplasty (eyelid plasty) and the median lifting (endoscopic lifting of the midface).

Deep cheek lifting is the lifting, which allows to eliminate sagging of the tissues covering the midface. That means it allows to smooth the nasolabial furrow, remove excess skin and muscles in the lower eyelid area as well as lift the sagging midface effectively. According to the doctors, this surgery type gives the most pronounced anti-aging effect. The endoscopic brow lifting used to perform correction of the upper face may be assigned in conjunction with the operation.

All the lateral lifting techniques (performed through the temporal and parotid incisions) do not allow the plastic surgeons to solve the above mentioned problems comprehensively. The doctor performs detachment at the level of the periosteum during the malar lifting, which means that the whole buccal tissue block is being released. With the help of the specific surgical techniques the doctor performs tissue fixation in the new position. Long lasting result of the cheek lifting is caused by the fact that the full thickness flap has no reversible forces.

Contraindications to the lifting:

• Diseases of the cardiovascular system;
• Diseases of thyroid body and kidney;
• Diabetes in the severe form;
• Oncological diseases;
• Mental disorders.

Preparation and conducting of the cheek lifting

• A few days before the plasty the patient is advised to stop smoking and drinking alcohol as well as stop taking medicines;
• Skin tightening of the midface is performed under general anesthesia;
• Correction takes about 2 hours;
• It is necessary to pass a full laboratory examination before the procedure.

The rehabilitation period after the correction

Rehabilitation after cheek lifting takes about 2 weeks. During this period it is necessary to abandon using cosmetics and wearing contact lenses. Sutures are removed in 4-5 days. Microcurrent therapy, ultrasonic procedures or mesotherapy may be assigned to accelerate the healing process. The patient is advised to give up active exercises, active bending and visiting of the baths or solariums for 1 month.
