A mid face lift is an effective treatment for individuals who want to elevate their cheeks without also lifting the neck and areas under the chin. It can be completed on its own or to supplement a traditional facelift or facial fillers treatment.
Most patients who underwent a mid face lift reported high satisfaction levels with the operation and its results. Most importantly, they felt that others perceived them in a more positive light after the procedure than before.
The aging process causes the middle fat pads (malar fat pads) to descend, deepening the nasolabial fold and causing jowling. The mid face lift restores the youthful appearance of the cheeks by elevating the fat pads to their normal position and tightening the muscles. In addition, the surgery can help to reduce fatty deposits in the area of the nasolabial fold and around the mouth.
A mid facelift can be performed alone or in combination with a neck lift and a blepharoplasty. It is important that you choose a cosmetic surgeon who has extensive training and significant experience in these procedures.
You may experience some bruising, swelling or redness of the skin after the surgery, which should clear within seven to ten days. You will need to avoid strenuous activity until your doctor tells you it is safe to resume your regular daily activities.
