What is a Mid Face Lift?

The cheekbones and cheekbones are called midface. When individuals are young, adipose tissue is located higher in this area, cheeks appear tight, and cheekbones appear fuller.

The procedure that reverses all these symptoms is the answer to the questions what is a midface lift or what is a midface lift operation?

How is Mid-Face Lift Operation Performed?

The Mid facelift operation is performed by stretching the skin tissue on the cheek and cheekbone, which is the lower part of the eye and the upper part of the lip. During this procedure, local anesthesia is first applied to the individual and a few minutes are waited for adequate numbness.

Then, using a medical thread, the cheek tissue of the individual is stretched and fixed upwards. The same process is applied to the other cheek in a symmetrical manner.

However, in another more preferred version of this application, both mid face lift, almond eye aesthetics and eyebrow lift applications can be performed at the same time. For this, an incision is made on the scalp of the individual and the tissues inside are reached with the help of a camera. Then, the medical rope placed on the cheek of the individual is fixed by stretching it upwards at an appropriate angle. Two 1 cm incisions are made in the individual, both in the mouth and on the scalp. In this way, all regions are stretched over the same medical rope.

Although the operation varies from person to person, it takes an average of 2.5 – 3 hours. Those who have endoscopic facelift undergo such a procedure.

Things to Consider After Mid Face Lift Surgery
