Facial Cosmetic Surgery
Lower Cheek Lift
A cheek lift (or malar lift) is a targeted procedure designed to restore volume and contour to the oval of the face. It specifically addresses sagging cheeks, marionette lines, and laxity in the mid-face. At Nobel Clinic Istanbul, we utilize muscle tightening techniques for a natural and long-lasting result.
