Many aging changes occur in the middle third of the face. Oftentimes, these include a descent of the malar fat pads and deepening of the nasolabial fold with the appearance of festoons (ptotic “bags”) under the eyes. In some cases, these alterations are corrected with a classic sub-SMAS suspension imbrication rhytidectomy in addition to a more general neck lift and jowl lift. However, in other instances, the middle third of the face needs a dedicated midface lift procedure.
A mid face lift repositions the sagging soft tissues of the cheek in a higher and more favorable position. This helps to restore the youthful prominence of the cheekbones while eradicating signs of aging and sagging around the mouth and jawline. A mid face lift can be done on its own or used to complement other surgical and non-surgical treatments such as hyaluronic acid fillers or liposculpture.
The results of a mid face lift are dramatic but natural-looking. Our patients do not look “done,” and onlookers usually cannot determine that surgery was ever done.
