The cheeks play an important role in the youthfulness of your face. When the cheeks sag, it can make your face look sunken, and there may be increased bags or hollows under the eyes. To restore the shape of the midface, you need the cheeks lifted, plumped and tightened. For many, this can be accomplished with a non-surgical cheek lift, available at Maia Plastic Surgery in Tysons Corner, VA.

As you get older, the cheeks and midface may change. It is common for the youthful plumpness of the cheeks to diminish with age, and the skin may begin to lose its elasticity and firmness. The fat pads that sit high on the cheekbones during youth can flatten and begin to droop if the skin and tissue loses its firmness. The result is deeper or more pronounced bags or hollows under the eyes, deeper smile lines and a slight drooping of the cheeks. In the early stages, these changes can be addressed with non-surgical treatments to tighten the skin and give the cheeks a “lift.”

Midface Skin Tightening

The skin loses elasticity when the collagen levels begin to drop in the 20s and 30s. This can allow the midface and cheeks to lose their firmness. Skin tightening treatments can stimulate collagen production using energy waves. Radiofrequency (RF) and other treatments can improve the elasticity of the cheeks to help “lift” the midface. Other non-surgical treatments can enhance the skin tightening, including facial filler injections to restore volume in the cheeks and under smile lines.

If you want to rejuvenate your cheeks and midface but you are not ready for a surgical cheek lift or mid facelift, consider a non-surgical cheek lift. To learn more, contact us at Maia Plastic Surgery. Our staff can schedule an appointment with Dr. Maia to discuss cheek lift options, surgical and non-surgical, at our clinic in the Washington, DC, metro area.

When I was diagnosed with breast cancer and had a consultation with Dr. Maia, not only was her expertise evident, her compassion shown through as she walked us through the process. Thankfully, I felt very comfortable trusting her as I underwent reconstruction surgery. I am very happy with the results and highly respect and recommend Dr. Maia.

Dr Maia truly loves what she does. She is invested in making you the version of yourself you want to be. She listens attentively to what you want and makes relevant suggestions. She did not try to introduce anything unnecessary into my treatment plan. The results I achieved during my first treatment keeps me coming back. Her staff is excellent and works to accommodate your schedule. I have recommended Dr. Maia several times and each time I get the same positive feedback.

Selecting a surgeon: After having two children and weight fluctuations over the years I was left with complete loss of volume in my breasts. I had four consultations with other surgeons but after comparing their photos to Dr Maia’s and meeting her in person, I knew she was my doctor. We talked about my lifestyle - being a mom and a professional, I didn’t want to be too big, but I’m curvy so I didn’t want to go too small for my frame either. She let me try on sizes and once I selected she agreed it was a good fit for my frame. Post op recovery: I was a smoker and had quit prior to surgery but she was very honest and adamant in telling me how important it was that I did not smoke. (I honestly needed the lecture and the transparency about what could happen if I did start smoking before surgery and post-op.) Because I was formerly a pretty heavy smoker, it did cause some issues after surgery with wound closing and she was SO diligent and on top of it seeing me once and week and squeezing me in for appointments between surgeries and patients. She prescribed different things to address the would closure issues before they really became a problem. Being able to have text message access to the office was great when I had questions and she even accommodated my schedule when I couldn’t be seen in person to send progress photos so that she could check on me. 3 months post op: I’m so happy with the results of my surgery and am so glad I waited to find the right doctor. She’s an artist! They look natural, fit my body shape and they haven’t even fully “dropped and fluffed” yet. Would highly recommend… comparing her patient photos to other surgeons will end your search. I feel so much better in my body thanks to Dr Maia.

This is my second time at Dr. Maia’s office and I am so pleased with my experience here. The staff is so friendly and caring. Dr. Maia is the best Dr in the DMV area, she knows exactly what she is doing and you will be happy with the results! I am so glad I found her! I recommend anyone who’s looking for a very personable doctor to come and see her! Thank you Dr. Maia & staff!
