About MidFace Lift
A mid-face lift, also known as a cheek lift or a mid-face rejuvenation, is a surgical procedure designed to lift and reposition the tissues in the middle portion of the face, particularly the cheeks and the area around the eyes. Unlike traditional facelift procedures that primarily address sagging in the lower face and neck, a mid-face lift specifically targets the mid-face region to restore youthful contours and improve overall facial harmony.
The goal of a mid-face lift is to address common signs of aging in the mid-face area, such as sagging cheeks, hollowing under the eyes, nasolabial folds (smile lines), and marionette lines (lines extending from the corners of the mouth to the chin). By lifting and repositioning the tissues of the mid-face, a mid-face lift can create a more youthful and refreshed appearance, improve facial contour, and enhance overall facial symmetry.
It's important to note that a mid-face lift is a surgical procedure that requires downtime for recovery, and it carries potential risks and complications like any surgical procedure. Therefore, it's essential to consult with a board-certified plastic surgeon who has experience performing mid-face lifts to discuss your goals, candidacy, and any concerns you may have before undergoing surgery. Additionally, alternative non-surgical treatments such as dermal fillers or fat grafting may be considered for individuals who prefer a less invasive approach or have milder signs of aging in the mid-face area.
