Who is a Mid Face Lift Suitable For?

A mid face lift is a surgical procedure designed to correct sagging in the cheeks, under the cheekbones, and under the eyes, which are located in the middle section of the face. The goal is not to completely tighten the face, but specifically to lift the volume of the mid-face upward and create a more rested, youthful appearance.

Who is this procedure generally suitable for?

A mid face lift is considered for individuals experiencing the following complaints:

🔹 Sagging cheeks

The middle part of the face descends over time due to gravity and tissue loosening. This creates a tired appearance.

🔹 Loss of cheekbone volume

If the face appears flat or sunken, mid-face support may have diminished.

🔹 Deep line between the under-eye area and cheeks (under-eye hollow/tear trough prominence)

Mid-face sagging can make under-eye bags and hollows more pronounced.

🔹 Deepening of nasolabial folds (nose edge–mouth corner line)

These lines may not always be resolved with fillers; if there is underlying sagging, surgery is more effective.

🔹 Expression that makes the face look tired or sad

Which Age Group Is It More Suitable For?

Generally:

Those between their late 30s and 50s

Those whose skin has not completely sagged but whose midface has begun to droop

Patients for whom a full facelift is still premature

It can be combined with a full facelift in cases of advanced sagging.

Who May Not Be Suitable?

Those with significant sagging in the lower part of the face (chin, jawline)

Individuals with only skin laxity and volume loss that can be corrected with fillers

Individuals whose general health condition is not suitable for surgery

Suitability for each patient is determined after examination.

What Does a Mid Face Lift Provide?

✔ Lifts the cheeks

✔ Gives a more youthful contour to the cheekbone area

✔ Softens the under-eye transition

✔ Gives the face a rested and more vibrant expression

✔ Provides natural rejuvenation, not an exaggerated look

Conclusion

The mid-face lift is a highly effective surgical method for selected patients, targeting signs of aging in the middle section of the face. The goal is not to tighten the face, but to reposition sagging tissues to their anatomically correct position.

The decision on suitability must be made based on a facial analysis and expert evaluation.
