Mid-Face Lift (Rejuvenation) Surgery

The midface area, including the lower eyelids, cheekbones, and cheeks, gradually loses volume, loosens, and sags with aging. This causes a tired and aged appearance, and the lower eyelids may appear elongated. Midface lift surgery is performed to correct these changes and restore a more vibrant, youthful look.

The procedure is done endoscopically through small incisions in the temple area or lower eyelid. Fillers or fat injections may be added if needed. Depending on the technique, the surgery is performed under general or local anesthesia and usually lasts between 1 to 2 hours.

With midface lift surgery, the cheeks are lifted, cheekbones become more prominent, and the lines beside the nose are softened. This results in a tighter, younger, and more balanced facial appearance. A one-day hospital stay is typically recommended after surgery, along with avoiding sun exposure for the first weeks and refraining from strenuous exercise for several weeks. Swelling and bruising usually subside within 2–3 weeks; full settling of the face may take 2–3 months.

The endoscopic midface lift provides long-lasting results, while less invasive methods (such as thread lifts or fillers) offer temporary effects. The appropriate method for you will be determined after a surgical evaluation.
