Mid-Face Lift
A mid-face lift, also known as cheek lifting, is a surgical procedure focused on rejuvenating the central part of the face. Over time, the mid-face area is affected by external factors such as gravity and sun exposure, leading to volume loss and increased flabbiness.
The Essence of the Operation
During the operation, sagging soft tissues from the lower eyelid to the upper lip are tightened, and volume is increased in the middle facial zone. This rejuvenating procedure effectively reduces signs of aging such as deep wrinkles and sagging in the lower third of the face, restoring a clear and defined facial contour. Overall, the operation rejuvenates the face, giving it a rested and fresh appearance.
Duration
The operation typically lasts between one to two hours.
Anesthesia
The operation can be performed under either local or general anesthesia.
Hospitalization
Hospitalization is not required for this procedure. However, if it is performed in conjunction with other surgeries or under general anesthesia, a hospital stay may be necessary.
