Midface lift
As we age, our skin begins to lose its natural elasticity, becomes thinner and looser, and begins to sag. The passage of years and lifestyle will affect not only the skin, but also the muscles, ligaments, fat, and all other structures beneath it, and the first signs of aging will soon appear. Often, these are more evident in the middle area of the face, especially in the cheek and under-eye area, where the tissues sag and lose volume.[3]
A cosmetic surgery for the face may be the solution you are looking for when you want to erase the signs of time from your face and regain your youthful appearance. There are several types of facelifts, but if the problems that bother you are located in the middle area of the face, the midface lift might be the perfect solution.
What does midface lift mean?
When thinking about a facelift, many people tend to mistakenly assume that it treats all regions of the face. In fact, a traditional facelift only treats the lower two-thirds of the face. If interventions above the eyes are also needed, it is combined with a brow lift. Each type of facelift has its benefits.
The midface lift focuses on the middle area of the face, from the corner of the eyes to the corner of the mouth, especially on the cheeks. Unlike a standard facelift, it does not target the chin or forehead area. It is an excellent option for those who want a younger appearance, prominent cheekbones, and to smooth out laugh lines.[3][4]
