Mid-Face Lift

The area between your lower eyelids and your mouth is considered the midface. As you age, the effects of gravity, repeated muscle contraction, and lifestyle cause the skin, fat, and muscle in this region to move downwards

Overview

The area between your lower eyelids and your mouth is considered the midface. As you age, the effects of gravity, repeated muscle contraction, and lifestyle cause the skin, fat, and muscle in this region to move downwards. When this occurs, the cheeks begin to look saggy or flat, lower eyelids can become puffy or hollow, circles begin to appear under the eyes, and the lines Before between the nose and the corner of the mouth deepen.

Surgical Goals

There are several anatomical goals of a cheeklift. One must correct the effects of mid-facial changes due to age:

• descent (downward movement) of the cheek fat
• gradual sagging of the cheek skin
• gradual sagging of the cheek skin
• hollowing of the infraorbital region, where the lower eyelid and cheek meet
• exaggeration of the nasolabial folds; this is referred to as the groove running from the corner of the nose to the side of the mouth
