A midface lift is a facial rejuvenation procedure that lifts the cheeks and under-eye area to restore youthful contour and reduce a tired appearance. It targets the middle portion of the face, where sagging and volume loss commonly occur with aging.
What Is a Midface Lift?
A midface lift repositions the cheek tissues that have descended over time. By lifting this area, the procedure improves cheek fullness, softens smile lines, and enhances the transition between the lower eyelids and cheeks.
Who Is a Good Candidate?
You may be a good candidate for a midface lift if you:
- Have sagging or flattened cheeks
- Notice under-eye hollowness or bags
- Have deep nasolabial folds
- Want natural, long-lasting facial rejuvenation
What Does a Midface Lift Improve?
A midface lift can:
- Lift and restore cheek volume
- Improve under-eye hollows
- Soften smile lines
- Create a refreshed, natural appearance
It is often combined with lower blepharoplasty for optimal under-eye rejuvenation.
Recovery and Results
Most patients experience swelling and bruising for 1–2 weeks. Results continue to improve as swelling subsides, with final outcomes appearing gradually over several weeks. The goal is a refined, natural-looking result.
Midface Lift vs Fillers
Fillers add temporary volume but do not correct sagging tissue. A midface lift addresses the underlying descent of facial structures, offering longer-lasting and more anatomically natural results for suitable candidates.
