Midface Lift
The midface lift is a cosmetic surgical procedure that targets the area where signs of aging are most noticeable, aiming to correct sagging and volume loss in the middle part of the face. With age, due to decreased skin elasticity and the effects of gravity, sagging may occur in the cheeks, under-eye areas, and around the mouth. The midface lift eliminates these sagging areas, rejuvenating facial contours and providing a fresher, more youthful appearance.
During the procedure, the surgeon typically makes incisions around the ear or in the scalp, then lifts the underlying tissues to create a tighter skin structure. This process reduces under-eye bags, enhances the prominence of the cheekbones, and reveals a younger profile without damaging the natural lines of the face.

How is the surgery performed? Is there any scarring?
The surgery is usually performed endoscopically. It can be done under local anesthesia or general anesthesia with sedation. Symmetrical 2 cm incisions are made on both sides in the scalp area. The midface tissues are released, reaching the cheek fat and are lifted upwards and outwards as in younger individuals. The midface area rejuvenates, and the folds on the sides disappear. The surgery will likely last about 1.5 hours.
Who is the best candidate for Midface Lift?
Although it varies from person to person, it is generally performed on men and women over 30 years old who want to get rid of a tired appearance but wish to maintain skin elasticity and require a complete skin care treatment.
Postoperative Care
There will be swelling on the face during the first 24-48 hours after surgery. Swelling will decrease after 48 hours. Scalp stitches are removed starting from the 10th day. Final results may take up to 1 month. Patients can return to work after 1 week. The effect is permanent for an average of 10 years, although the impact of gravity depends on the aging rate and lifestyle.
