Mid-Facelift Surgery

Mid-Face Lift Procedure

Once the patient is anesthetized, the surgeon makes an incision around the hairline and forehead to access the sagging facial muscles by lifting the skin. At this stage, the weakened muscles are repositioned into their new locations.

The elevated “flap” includes the SMAS muscle, the malar fat pad, and the orbicularis oculi muscle. These structures are then secured at a higher position, closer to the temples and the edges of the orbital bone.

It is common for patients to combine a mid-face lift with other procedures, such as blepharoplasty or fat grafting, to further enhance the overall results.

The goal of the mid-face lift is to lift the cheek area and rejuvenate the face by treating fine lines around the mouth.

Mid-Face Lift Surgery

A mid-face lift involves the precise lifting and tightening of the tissues in the mid-face region. Surgeons skillfully rejuvenate the facial contours to create a youthful and refreshed appearance.

The procedure is carried out with meticulous attention to detail to ensure natural, balanced results that integrate seamlessly with the overall facial aesthetics.

After Mid-Face Lift Surgery

The results of a mid-face lift are immediately noticeable and can last 10 to 15 years. The effects are long-lasting; however, they will inevitably be influenced by the natural aging process and the pull of gravity over time.

- After mid-face lift surgery, careful postoperative care is vital to ensure a smooth recovery.

- Following all instructions provided by your surgeon is essential for healthy healing (including postoperative bandages, drains, incision care, prescribed medications/creams, etc.).

- Unless medically required, the hospital stay is limited to 2 days.

-After discharge, you will attend postoperative check-ups scheduled by your surgeon.

- For the first 10 days, avoid activities that may raise blood pressure and cause bleeding in the surgical area.

- Returning to your daily routine may take about one week; however, if you are employed, it is recommended to take two weeks off if possible.

- During the first three days, you may feel tightness and pain around your stitches. This can be managed with pain relievers and will gradually subside.

-You may feel tired and sensitive after surgery; therefore, it is advisable to have someone accompany you for a few days.

- Do not drive for the first 10 days.

- For one month after surgery, avoid heavy exercise and lifting heavy objects, including carrying a baby or child.

- Smoking reduces circulation, delays wound healing, and significantly increases the risk of serious complications. You should quit smoking at least four weeks before and four weeks after your procedure.

- Avoid exposing your incisions to excessive strain or movement, and especially during the first four weeks, refrain from exercises that directly put stress on the operated area.
