Mid facelift

A mid facelift is a cheek lift that is more suitable for clients who want rejuvenation in the middle part of their face and whose skin is not yet loose enough to undergo a deep plane facelift or V lift. A mid facelift is a procedure that aims to achieve fullness in the cheek area and if it is necessary to remove fat bags or hollows in the lower eyelid area.

During the procedure, structures are moved back to where they were before. As a result, the face looks completely natural after the operation and facial expressions are preserved. The goal is for the client to look very natural, just as they did when they were younger.

Indications

loss of volume in the cheekbone area, bags or circles under the eyes, flattened cheeks

Overnight stay

not necessary

Stitch removal

stitches are absorbable and so they are just trimmed two weeks after surgery

Description of the surgical procedure

Consultation

An initial consultation is a very important part of the surgery. The client tells the surgeon the reasons why they decided to undergo the procedure, and the surgeon explains what the client can expect from the surgery, what results are realistic, and advises them on the most suitable procedure for them. During the consultation, the doctor answers all the client’s questions.

Before the procedure

Before each surgery, it is necessary to assess the overall health of each client. With local anesthesia or local anesthesia combined with analgosedation, blood samples can be taken at a laboratory or by a general practitioner or internist.

The procedure

A mid facelift is performed on an outpatient basis under local anesthesia or local anesthesia combined with analgosedation and takes approximately 45 min. Before the procedure, the surgeon explains everything to the client again, and the client then receives premedication. In the operating room, we administer a local anesthetic by injection. This may be slightly uncomfortable, but the injection only takes a moment, and the client feels almost nothing during the subsequent operation. The incision is made just below the lash line on the lower eyelid. A vertical shift occurs in the cheek area, achieving fullness in the middle part of the face, which guarantees a youthful appearance. Nasolabial wrinkles are also reduced.

After the procedure

Immediately after the procedure, the scar is covered with a plaster, which is left in place until the stitches are removed. The client leaves the clinic, and it is necessary to have their transport arranged. A 24-hour hotline is available, which the client can contact if necessary. The stitches are removed on the 7th day after the procedure. It is crucial to observe a rest regimen for at least three days. It is recommended to cool the eyes and cheeks with cold compresses, avoid bending over and straining the eyes by looking at screens. Swelling and bruising occur individually and usually last for 1-2 weeks. It is possible to return to normal office work after just a few days. Two weeks after the surgery, the client starts doing pressure massage on the scars and applying silicone cream to them. The scars are less visible after two weeks and barely noticeable after a few months, but it is important to take care of them. Pressure massage should be performed twice a day for several months. The postoperative care bag that the client receives from us after the operation contains all the necessary medications and creams.

Durability of results of mid facelift

A mid facelift will visually rejuvenate the client and give them a fresh appearance. Even a small change can make a huge difference in terms of facial attractiveness. Of course, it is natural for the client to age after the surgery, as no one can stop the natural aging process, but the client´s appearance will be based on the condition after the surgery, which means they will still look younger than if they had not undergone the surgery. The longevity of mid facelift results is individual. Aging is influenced by genetics, but also by lifestyle, sun exposure, smoking and other factors. Therefore, it is essential for the clients to continue to take care of their faces also after the operation.

To ensure the best possible effect of the operation, we recommend combining it with other procedures and treatments, if necessary. These may include an upper eyelid surgery, a temporal lift or a brow lift. Fine wrinkles can be smoothed out by Morpheus 8 radiofrequency or CO2 laser treatment. It is advisable to take care of your complexion, both through regular visits to a cosmetician or beautician and, in older age, through treatments such as CO2 laser or radiofrequency. These treatments increase skin elasticity and significantly slow down the aging process.

Risks

No surgery is completely risk-free. However, these risks are minimized by a skilled and experienced surgeon, adherence to preoperative instructions, and conscientious postoperative care. The client is informed of the most common risks before surgery.

Frequently asked questions and answers

  • lifting sagging cheeks, regaining lost facial volume and smoothing deep
    wrinkles (e.g. nasolabial folds)
  • significant rejuvenation of the area under the eyes, in the cheek area
  • natural result – the face appears fresh, not “tight”
  • lower eyelid surgery is also performed as part of the procedure, if necessary

The difference between a facelift and a mid facelift (i.e., lifting the middle part of the face) is essential and mainly concerns the area affected by the procedure, the technique used, and the target group of clients. A deep plane facelift focuses on the lower part of the face and neck – it helps remove loose skin, restore jaw firmness, and smooth the neck. A mid facelift, on the other hand, targets the middle of the face – the cheeks and the area under the eyes. It is ideal for clients who want a fresher and more youthful appearance but do not yet need to work on the neck or lower face.
