The Benefits of a Mid Face Lift

Over time, our facial skin and tissues lose their elasticity. As a result, our cheeks and eyelids can begin to droop and make us appear older or tired than we really are. A mid face lift is a cosmetic surgery procedure that, when performed by a skilled and trained professional, can improve the appearance of this area and leave your face looking smoother and younger. Typically, it is combined with a brow lift and/or a lower eyelid lift to complete the overall rejuvenation of the forehead, glabellar lines, cheeks and lids.

The midface is the region that extends from the nasolabial folds (NLF) to the suborbicularis oculi fat and buccal fat pockets of the cheeks. In the middle third, sagging soft tissues can cause the malar fat pads to descend, deepen NLFs and create festoons (ptotic or hypertrophic “bags” of the orbicularis oculi muscle). The midface lift procedure repositions these sagging tissue structures to a higher position more favorable for the cheek and cheekbone region.

Using various lifting techniques, this surgical procedure can be done on its own or in combination with other surgical and non-surgical procedures such as liposuction of the cheeks and neck lift. However, it is important to choose a double board-certified facial plastic surgeon with extensive training and significant experience to perform a mid face lift.

A superior Mid Face Lift result should never look overdone or “surgerized.” The goal is to achieve natural-looking results that elevate the cheeks without pulling the lower neck or chin areas. The best way to learn more about this treatment is to schedule a personalized consultation with Dr. Azizzadeh, our double board-certified facial plastic surgeon. He can explain the costs associated with this procedure and provide you with a portfolio of his work. Mid-Face Lift Near Me
