The Main Culprit of Aging, 

Boost Your Youthful Appearance with a Midface Lift!

The main culprit of looking older,

if you want to solve under-eye sagging and nasolabial folds at once!

As you age, the midface, which occupies the largest area of the face, might be the most noticeable part where signs of aging are visible. In our faces, the midface extends from below the eyes to the tip of the nose, and the decrease in skin elasticity along with increasing wrinkles in this area can make one look older, grumpy, or even depressed, contributing to a negative impression.

An effective lifting method to solve these issues can be said to be the midfacelift. So today, we will take a closer look at the midfacelift surgery method and who it is suitable for.

What is the midface?

Our face is divided into the upper, mid, and lower facial areas, with the area around the eyes and forehead being the upper face, the area between the under-eye and cheekbones including the philtrum being the midface, and the area around the mouth and chin line being the lower face. 

Usually, concerns such as under-eye sagging, decreased volume in the anterior cheek area, and nasolabial folds can be improved through midfacelift surgery.

The main culprit of aging, boost your youthful appearance with a Midface Lift!

Unlike a full facelift, midfacelift specifically targets the main culprits of aging, such as the eyes and nasolabial folds, filling in the volume in the anterior cheek area, thereby making a youthful face achievable.

This procedure improves the sagging of the midface, which signifies aging on the front of the face, by making the expressive front face more elastic, thus transitioning from an aged to a youthful face, popular among people in their 50s and 60s.

Midfacelift Surgery Method!

This midfacelift is divided into methods that involve under-eye incisions similar to lower eyelid surgery and those that lift through temporal incisions using sutures or endotines. Firstly, for the midfacelift that proceeds through an under-eye incision, it involves lifting by making an incision in the same area as the lower eyelid surgery. 

However, unlike the lower eyelid surgery that removes sagging skin and bulging, sagging fat by removal or repositioning, this method of midface lifting, through sub-periosteal dissection of not just the under-eye but the entire anterior cheek area and fixing the tissue to the infraorbital rim, allows for an upward lift that improves the eye area, Indian wrinkles, and nasolabial folds.

For the under-eye incision, the advantage is that a mini-lift can be performed with just a 2mm incision in front of the eyelashes, resulting in barely visible scars. 

On the other hand, the midfacelift performed through a temporal incision involves making an incision in the temporal hairline area to dissect up to the anterior cheek area and lifting it using sutures or endotines.

This method is effective in lifting the muscles that lift the corners of the mouth upwards, thus improving severe under-eye areas, Indian wrinkles, nasolabial folds, and sagging mouth corners. The advantage of this temporal incision is that it involves a smaller incision area than a full facelift, reducing the burden while providing a semi-permanent lifting effect.

However, for deep under-eye hollows, nasolabial folds, or marionette lines, combining facelift and midfacelift surgeries can enhance the lifting effect, so it is advisable to proceed with consultation from experienced medical professionals.

In such cases, you might consider a Midface Lift!

1. When there is a long sagging from the under-eye area to the cheek.

2. When the lower eyelid mucosa becomes loose and flips.

3. When tear troughs or Indian wrinkles have formed.

4. In cases of severe nasolabial folds.

Normally, a midfacelift can be considered not only for significant aging symptoms but also for Indian wrinkles, a horse-face appearance with a long face, or sunken anterior cheekbones.

It can also be considered after contouring surgery if the upper lip and corners of the mouth have stretched, or if Indian wrinkles have developed due to thread lifting or filler treatments.

So far, we have examined the midfacelift surgery method and for whom it is a suitable lifting technique. I hope the information provided is helpful for those considering a midfacelift to improve an aged appearance due to under-eye bags or nasolabial folds, making them look older than their actual age.

A midfacelift requires adjusting the direction and extent of the lift based on the degree of the outer corners of the eyes being raised, the protrusion of the cheekbones, and the shape of the face to achieve a natural improvement.

Therefore, it is recommended to proceed with customized surgery after accurately diagnosing each individual's degree and cause of facial sagging, the purpose of improvement, skin characteristics, and facial features.

Furthermore, do not forget that proceeding after sufficient consultation with experienced and skilled medical professionals is advisable to achieve satisfactory results, and make a careful decision based on the above information.
