Mid-Face Lift Surgery
For many patients, the traditional facelift may not adequately address the upper cheek and lower eyelid areas of the face, which often flatten and elongate with age. For this reason, Dr. Sobel frequently recommends a mid-face lift. We find our patients prefer the natural and youthfulness of this procedure over the cheek lift, mini facelift, S-lift, lifestyle lift, and thread lift. During your personalized consultation with Dr. Sobel, he will listen to your concerns, evaluate your natural anatomy, and help determine which procedure or combination of procedures are right for you.
During the mid-face lift procedure, minimal incisions behind the hairline are created to raise the sagging cheek tissues, giving a more youthful appearance to the cheekbones and reducing the nasolabial laugh lines around the mouth. The result is a younger appearance to the mid-face area.
Combining Procedures for Enhanced Facial Rejuvenation
Many of our patients in the Seattle and Bellevue area benefit most from a mid-face lift procedure performed in conjunction with a lower (traditional) facelift to create a more dramatic, rejuvenating effect for the entire face. We can, and often do, combine procedures, such as an eyelid lift, with the mid-face lift to meet each patient’s needs.
One procedure we frequently combine with the mid-face lift is the endoscopic forehead lift. This procedure lifts the sagging brow and surrounding areas to give the face a more youthful, rested, and refreshed look.
