How a Mid-Face Lift Can Give You A More Youthful Appearance
The lines on either side of the mouth are telltale signs of aging. Do you ever look in the mirror and gently pull back your face to view the more youthful looking “you”? A more youthful appearance can be achieved with a mid-face lift procedure.
What type of patients would a mid-face lift benefit?
If you are considering a mid-face lift, find a specialist with whom you are comfortable. A successful outcome will make a dramatic change with less recovery time than a traditional facelift. Rejuvenating your appearance by lifting cheeks vertically creates a naturally refreshed appearance. Since this procedure addresses the early signs of aging, it’s an excellent option for those not ready to consider a full-face lift, which also involves the forehead, neck, and jawline.
How the mid-face lift procedure works:
The mid-face lift procedure can be approached in several different ways. An incision can be made:
inside the lower eyelid
along the junction of the upper row of teeth and the lip
or along the hairline by your temple.
Often times, other parameters can be put into place to add volume to the area lifted (including a cheek implant or fat injections). Your cosmetic surgeon will discuss the options with you during an initial consultation. The procedure could be performed at the specialist’s office. Post-op visits are done within a day or two of the procedure to monitor a safe and relatively quick healing process. During recovery a patient can expect moderate initial pain and some bruising. The bruising typically clears in a couple weeks.
If you feel you’ve lost some of your youthful appearance and wish to rejuvenate your look, then a mid-face lift might be the option for you. Consult with a cosmetic plastic surgeon about your options and use the latest cutting edge technology available.
