Midface Lift

Q. What is a midface lift and how is it different than a facelift?

A facelift usually addresses the lower 1/3 of the face and the upper 1/2 of the neck. A midface lift is more of a cheek lift (middle 1/3 of the face). Many times the midface lift is performed in conjunction with a lower eyelid blepharoplasty.

Q. Who is a candidate for a midface lift?

Candidates for a midface lift are those who desire an improved appearance in the tone, firmness, and youthfulness to the midface and cheeks. These patients generally have cheeks that droop below the cheekbone. This pulls on the lower eyelid making it appear elongated. A hollowness can also be found beneath the eyelid (where the cheek should be).
