Mid-Face Lift Surgery

A mid-face lift is a surgical procedure performed to correct sagging, loss of volume and wrinkles that develop over time in the mid-face region, such as the cheeks, under-eye area and nasolabial region (nose-to-lip line). This procedure lifts the mid-face region without affecting the lower part of the face, resulting in a younger, fresher and more vibrant appearance.

Volume loss and sagging in the mid-face area become particularly noticeable from the age of 40 onwards. A mid-face lift, performed using both surgical and minimally invasive techniques, restores a youthful and natural appearance to patients.

Who is a suitable candidate for a mid-face lift?

• Those who are concerned about loss of volume and sagging in the cheeks
• People who look tired due to bags and hollows under their eyes
• Those with more pronounced nasolabial folds (the line between the nose and lips)
• Those who wish to rejuvenate only the mid-face without any sagging in the lower face
• Those who want more defined cheekbones

How is a Mid-Face Lift Performed?

1. Pre-operative Process

• The patient is assessed in detail and a personalised treatment plan is drawn up.
• The proportions between the under-eye area, the cheeks and the nasolabial fold are analysed.
• Patients are provided with personalised information regarding mid-face lift prices for 2025.

2. The Surgical Procedure

• It is usually carried out under local or general anaesthesia and takes approximately 1.5–2 hours.
• Small incisions are made in front of the ear or within the hairline, and the cheeks and under-eye area are lifted upwards.
• The cheek tissues are reshaped and the subcutaneous connective tissues are tightened.
• The nasolabial folds (nose-to-lip lines) are smoothed out.

3. The Post-operative Recovery Process

• There may be some slight swelling and bruising during the first week, but these will subside quickly.
• Patients can usually return to their normal social lives within 7–10 days.
• The full recovery process takes approximately 4–6 weeks.

Is a Mid-Face Lift Permanent?

Yes, a mid-face lift provides long-lasting results. For 10 years following the procedure, the face continues to look younger and more dynamic. However, as the ageing process continues, it is advisable to pay attention to skincare and maintain healthy lifestyle habits in the years to come.

No, a mid-face lift is a less invasive procedure and is usually carried out comfortably under local or general anaesthesia. The recovery time is shorter than that for a full facelift.

How long does a mid-face lift take?

This procedure usually takes between 1.5 and 2 hours. The duration may be longer if it is combined with more extensive procedures.

Will there be any scarring after a mid-face lift?

No, as the surgical incisions are concealed in front of the ear or within the hairline, the scars are not visible from the outside.

Can I wear make-up after a mid-face lift?

No make-up products should be applied to the skin during the first few weeks following the operation. After a while, you may apply light make-up, provided you have consulted your doctor first.

Is a mid-face lift permanent?

Yes, the effects of a mid-face lift last for 10 years. However, as the ageing process continues, minor touch-ups may be required in later years.
