Midface Lift (Cheek Lift)

As we age, gravity and fat deflation rob us of facial fullness. One area in which these effects can be seen is the midface area. The midface is the area from the lower eyelids to the tip of the nose. Over time, the midface area descends and loses volume (flattens). This can make us appear more tired or older than we are.

A midface lift can beautifully restore the youthful contour and three-dimensional projection to the midface area that so many patients desire. Fat may also be transferred to the face during a midface lift to maximize contour and projection. There are several techniques for midface lifting, and which technique is best for you is based on a variety of factors including your current facial structure, previous facial surgeries, and your aesthetic goals.

A Midface Lift does not address the eyelids or a sagging eyebrow or forehead area, however is very effectively combined with other procedures.
