When signs of aging appear on our body, the face is the first to show the passage of time, especially the eyebrows, cheekbones, and cheeks. Fortunately, there are cutting-edge treatments, such as the cheek lift, to slow down aging. Here we tell you what the procedure involves.
What is a cheek lift?
At Medicina Estética Benavides, we perform a lift with hilos tensores using small surgical sutures to lift and support sagging areas, in this case, the cheekbones. The threads have tiny, barb-like teeth that grip and lift the soft tissues of that facial area.
The threads are inserted into precise locations with a long needle, and once inserted under the skin, they open like an umbrella to form a support structure that gently lifts and restores tissues to a more vertical and youthful position.
With the lifting effect secured, the needle is removed, the end of the thread is cut and knotted, allowing it to retract deep under the skin where it cannot be felt or seen. The non-absorbable threads remain within the deep tissues and provide support.
Unlike conventional sutures, which are smooth, the threads have tiny, evenly spaced teeth. Once inserted under the skin, they are fixed with tension that creates a suspension effect, gently lifting sagging tissues. The threads are transparent, so they are not visible under light or thin skin.
Generally, the pain from the procedure is very minimal. There are some simple measures and instructions that patients must follow for a few days after the lift. Experience has shown that the duration and degree of improvement vary depending on the patient's age at the time of the cheek lift procedure, the degree of sagging, and the number of threads used.
