APPLE LIFTING
Using medical-grade threads, we lift sagging front cheeks and upper cheekbones, visually shortening and correcting a lengthened mid-face.
Apple Lifting helps you achieve natural volume and a mid-face shortening effect, along with a brighter, more youthful appearance.
Recommended for those with sagging cheeks due to aging, as well as those whose cheeks feel heavy and droopy after excessive volume treatments.
At ATOP Beauty Clinic, we go beyond simply pulling the skin upward. We create a highly personalized plan based on your unique features,
and take a structural approach to restore balance to the center of the face.
A major cause of an aged appearance,
the front cheek sags, being pulled downward by gravity!
As skin elasticity decreases with aging, it becomes less able to resist gravity,
causing sagging of the mid-cheek, upper cheekbone area, and even the deep cheek fat.
As a result, nasolabial folds deepen, the midface appears longer, and facial contours become uneven
due to fat displacement.
In addition, flat-looking cheeks reduce facial dimension, leaving the overall appearance dull and tired.
Beginning in the 30s,
skin elasticity declines rapidly.
Time to stop aging!

Criteria for assessing midface length,
the triangle connecting the eyes and nose.
Long triangle zone
Long midface
If the triangular zone of the central face between the eyes and the nose
is proportionally longer than it width, It is
considered a long mid face.
Equilateral Triangular Zone
Short midface
If the triangular zone in the central face connecting the eyes and the nose
forms an equilateral triangle,the face can be considered
to have a short midface.

Q&A
Apple Lifting<br>Frequently Asked Questions
- The nasolabial folds appear more pronounced
Will it be effective to lift with the Apple Lifting? - Yes, Apple lifting can help reduce the appearance of nasolabial folds that become more pronounced due to frontal cheek sagging.
However, if the nasolabial folds are not caused by frontal cheek sagging, we recommend filler treatment or a dedicated nasolabial fold thread lift.
- How long does the Apple Lifting last?
- In general, we inform patients that the effects last approximately 6 months to 1 year.
However, as muscle movement varies from person to person, the duration can differ significantly between individuals.
- As the entire face sags,
even my philtrum has grown longer… - If the philtrum also appears elongated, it is recommended to combine Apple Lifting with non-surgical philtrum shortening treatment.
Philtrum Reduction Treatment is a non-surgical procedure designed to make an elongated philtrum appear shorter, and when performed alongside Apple Lifting, it delivers a powerful synergy enhancing overall facial balance, proportion, and a more youthful impression.
