A mid-face lift is a plastic surgery procedure designed to address sagging skin and restore volume in the middle third of the face. This area includes the cheeks, nasolabial folds and under-eye area. Unlike a traditional facelift, which focuses primarily on the lower face and neck, a mid-facelift specifically targets the middle section to provide a more youthful and refreshed appearance. The procedure usually involves making small incisions near the ears or inside the mouth, allowing surgeons to reposition and tighten the underlying tissue. This can help improve facial contours, lift the cheeks and reduce the appearance of hollowness or sagging around the eyes. Recovery time varies from person to person, but most people can expect some swelling and bruising for a few weeks. Ultimately, this procedure can offer subtle but significant improvements that help restore facial harmony and boost self-confidence.
