What is a Mid-Facelift?

A mid-facelift, sometimes referred to as a midface lift or a cheek lift, is a plastic surgery procedure designed to elevate and improve facial skin. While a mid-facelift is often performed alongside a traditional facelift, the two procedures can be performed separately.

People receive a mid-facelift to alleviate:

• Heaviness below the cheeks
• Bagginess under the eyes
• Prominent nasolabial folds
• “Droopy cheeks”

These issues stem from the toll that gravity and age take on facial skin.

How Does the Mid-Facelift work?

One of the most exciting aspects of the mid-facelift is that it can counteract some of the earlier signs of age, before a full facelift may be needed. The mid-facelift is typically performed as an outpatient procedure under general anesthesia. During the procedure:

• Several tiny incisions are made around the hairline and ear.
• The soft tissue that forms the cheeks is lifted.
• This tissue is suspended in a higher position using a suture or resorbable anchor.

The end result is a more youthful mid-face area. Many people elect to have a mid-facelift performed at the same time as a traditional facelift in order to minimize the number of necessary incision and downtime.

The mid-facelift is typically performed as an outpatient procedure, albeit with a follow-up appointment the day after. Some minor bruising and swelling is to be expected, and will subside in time. Mid-facelift recovery is generally considered to be minimal.
