Mid-Face Lift

There are a variety of different forms of cosmetic surgery for the face. The right type of facial cosmetic surgery for you all depends on your specific needs and aesthetic goals. A mid-face lift, sometimes called a cheek lift, involves tightening the skin in between the upper mouth and eye area. Midface lifts help to lift the cheeks in a vertical direction. This can give the face a more youthful-looking appearance while making the under-eye area less sunken. It can also help to reduce nasolabial folds or smile lines and lift the corners of the mouth.

A mid-face lift will not target the jawline or forehead areas, so it might be better to consider another type of cosmetic procedure to address these areas. It also should not be thought of as an alternative to a facelift. A midface lift can restore youthful-looking contours and a naturally rejuvenated appearance for patients who feel as if the middle of their face is looking tired or aged. It is common for a mid-face lift to be combined with surgical or non-surgical cheek augmentation treatments. Younger or middle-aged patients who have under eye hollows, heaviness, or sagging of the cheeks may be ideal candidates. The procedure is not recommended for patients who want to address sagging skin on the neck.

For holistic facial rejuvenation, you may wish to combine a mid-face lift with another cosmetic procedure. Cosmetic Surgery Institute also offers other options in addition to a mid-facelift, including facelifts, neck lifts or cosmetic neck surgery, and eyelid surgery. Additionally, there are non-surgical or minimally invasive options available such as BOTOX^®, dermal fillers, chemical peels, dermaplaning, and microneedling to address more minor aesthetic concerns, such as wrinkles. The results from these options are not as dramatic as those from a face operation would be but they can correct early signs of aging for those who are not ready for cosmetic surgery. Dermal fillers can lift the cheeks and improve their definition, or increase the volume of the cheeks, enhancing the balance and harmony of your face.
