Mid Face Lift concerns all people of every age who are worried by skin laxity at the cheeks area as well as excess skin and fine lines under the eyes. It does not concern those who have skin laxity at the neck area or intense ageing signs all over the face. These patients would be ideal candidates for a full face lift like the French Vertical Face Lift.

The mid face lift surgery is quiet simple and doesn’t take more than 90′. Incisions are performed into the hairline, in order to be hidden, and the whole procedure can be performed with the help of endoscopic cameras that facilitate the doctor’s moves. The doctor lifts and repositions the muscles that she sees necessary in order to visibly improve and enhance the face’s appearance. This particular method can be combined with other techniques, like eyelid surgery or liposculpture to achieve a total image improvement.

Mild swelling and slight bruising is expected after the surgery but they gradually disappear over the next few weeks. Patients can return to work and everyday routine two weeks after the procedure but sports activity should be avoided for 3 to 4 weeks as it may aggravate the swelling and the bruising. External stitches are removed a week follownig the surgery and any scars are hidden into the hairline and are not noticeable. Results are immediately visible and last for several years.
