The midface refers to the area between the lower eyelids and the sides of the nose. As we age, skin elasticity declines and the volume of fat and bone decreases, accelerating sagging in this region. A midface lift can help rejuvenate the entire face while also addressing under-eye hollowness.
This procedure restores natural volume and roundness to the cheeks, lifts the corners of the mouth, and creates a youthful, three-dimensional facial contour.
Ideal for anyone who feels they have…
- Sagging cheeks
- Mid-cheek groove
- Nasolabial folds
- Bags or laxity under the eyes
- Dark under-eye circles
- Down-turned mouth corners
Procedure Details
An incision is made just beneath the lower lash line. Protruding orbital fat is repositioned, then the cheek fat pad is elevated upward and sutured to overlap the orbital fat, recreating youthful contour and support.
