What is a mid-facelift and how is it different from a regular facelift?

Mid-facelift specifically targets the mid-face region — cheeks, lower eyelids, and nasolabial folds — without addressing the lower face or neck. Smaller incisions, often hidden in the lower lash line or temple. Best for younger patients (40s-50s) with early mid-face descent but no jowls or neck laxity. A full facelift addresses the entire face from temples to neck.

Who is a candidate for mid-facelift?

Patients aged 40-55 with: tear trough hollowing, flattened cheeks, deepening nasolabial folds, but minimal jowls or neck laxity. Patients with advanced aging in lower face/neck need a full facelift. Many surgeons combine mid-facelift with lower blepharoplasty (eyelid surgery) since the regions overlap. The procedure is sometimes called 'subperiosteal lift' or 'cheek lift'.

How long do mid-facelift results last?

8-12 years on average, similar to a traditional facelift. The face continues aging normally from the new baseline. Patients in their 40s-50s often combine mid-facelift with non-surgical maintenance (botox, filler, peels) to extend the youthful appearance. Sun protection and stable weight are critical to longevity. Some patients return for full facelift in their 60s-70s as lower face aging develops.

Overview

A mid-facelift focuses on the cheek and mid-face region rather than the lower face and neck. Techniques include endoscopic approaches (small incisions in the temple and inside the mouth) and limited-incision lifts. The cheek pad is repositioned over the malar bone to soften the nasolabial fold, restore cheek projection, and improve the tear trough.

This procedure is particularly suited to patients in their 40s-50s with isolated mid-face concerns who don't yet need a full facelift. It's often combined with lower blepharoplasty (eye-bag removal) since the techniques share anatomical territory. Recovery is shorter than full facelift — typically 1-2 weeks for return to work and 4-6 weeks for full activity.
