The lifting of the middle level of the face, or mid-face lift, is recommended for people who want to regain the volume and firmness of the cheekbones, affected by the natural aging process. This procedure is suitable for those who notice a descent of the tissues in the middle area of the face and a loss of the natural contour. Ideally, the candidate is in good general health and has realistic expectations.
The mid-face lift involves lifting and repositioning the soft tissues of the middle level of the face, including the muscles and subcutaneous fat, to restore the volume and natural contour of the cheekbones. The intervention is performed through discreet incisions, often around the hairline or inside the oral cavity, to minimize visible scars. Through this technique, any deep wrinkles in the cheek area can also be corrected, without affecting the natural facial expression.
The procedure is performed under general anesthesia or, in some selected cases, under deep sedation combined with local anesthesia. The duration of the intervention is generally between 2 and 3 hours, depending on the complexity of the case and the technique used.
Swelling and bruising are frequent, and the operated area may be sensitive. Rest and avoidance of intense physical effort are recommended.
Most patients can return to light daily activities. The sutures, if external, are usually removed between 5 and 7 days.
The swelling continues to decrease gradually, and the results become more visible. Avoiding prolonged sun exposure and using creams with sun protection are recommended.
The final results can be fully appreciated after approximately 3 months, when the tissues will have stabilized completely.
All these risks are evaluated and minimized through careful preoperative evaluation, rigorous surgical technique, and adequate postoperative monitoring.
The initial results are visible immediately after the intervention, but the swelling and bruising can mask the final appearance. Usually, the final results are fully appreciated after approximately 3 months.
The incisions are placed strategically, in discreet areas or inside the oral cavity, so that the scars are generally well hidden and almost invisible after healing.
Yes, the mid-face lift can be combined with other interventions, such as blepharoplasty or a complete facelift, but this must be discussed during the consultation to personalize the treatment plan.
It is recommended to avoid prolonged sun exposure for at least one month after the operation and to use creams with sun protection to prevent hyperpigmentation of the scars and to promote optimal healing.
