A midface lift targets the cheeks and under-eye area, restoring volume and lifting sagging tissue for a more youthful mid-facial contour.
Incisions are made typically in the lower eyelid or hairline. The underlying tissues and fat pads of the cheeks are elevated to a higher, more youthful position.
The surgery usually takes two to three hours. Techniques vary depending on the patient’s facial structure and goals, often involving deep tissue lifting (SMAS or subperiosteal planes).
Swelling, bruising, and tightness around the cheeks and eyes are common. Recovery takes around two to three weeks. Patients should follow all aftercare instructions closely, with follow-up appointments ensuring the tissues settle correctly for long-lasting results.
