The mid face lift is a surgical procedure designed to lift and restore the facial soft tissue in the middle of the face (cheek area) to its original position in relation to the bony foundation below. This is accomplished by repositioning fat and muscle tissue through small incisions hidden within the hairline. The result is a more youthful and refreshed appearance.

A mid face lift is an excellent option for anyone who has sagging cheek tissue or is experiencing a downward descent of the facial skin which leads to a “jowl” appearance. The jowl is caused by a loss of collagen and fatty tissue in the lower facial region. Using a technique similar to that of the traditional facelift, the mid face lift tightens and firms the supporting muscles of the face, removes excess fatty tissue and trims loose skin for dramatic results.

Patients who are considering a mid face lift often have more subtle signs of aging and can benefit from this treatment alone or in conjunction with other procedures such as the neck lift, blepharoplasty and facial fillers. It is important to work with a cosmetic surgeon who has extensive training and significant experience in the facelift surgery.

The best candidates for a mid face lift are healthy, psychologically stable and have realistic expectations for their results. Patients with a history of poor wound healing or bleeding disorders should avoid this type of invasive surgery. During your consultation, it is helpful to bring close-up clear photographs of yourself when you were younger to help Dr. Verma understand your facial structure and what is unique about your natural youthful contours. mid face lift
