The upper cheek and lower eyelid areas of the face often flatten and lengthen as you age. A mini facelift, also known as a cheek lift or mid-lift, is a facial rejuvenation procedure that addresses tissues that have relaxed in your cheek, slight jowling along the jawline, and/or an increase in the depth of the folds, or smile lines, between your nose and your lateral lip (nasolabial folds).

MINI Facelift
A mini facelift in Dallas from Dr. Standefer at Fresh Image can increase the fullness of the eyes and cheeks by elevating the cheek’s fat pad, which creates a natural, refreshed, and younger-looking appearance.
