The Mid-Face Lift is the surgical approach of the mid-face area that involves the triangle defined by the inner and outer corners of the eye and the corner of the mouth.
First signs of facial ageing appear in that area, with lower eyelid skin becoming wrinkled and fat bags under the eyes becoming prominent. As a result, the face loses its harmonic unity and contour, while naso-labial lines make the area appear heavy and tired.
The Mid-Face Lift, also known as “Star Lift”, since it is very popular among Hollywood stars, is mainly recommended to patients who want a more rejuvenated, smoother and younger appearance. The face becomes rejuvenated and the scars are nearly invisible.
The Mid-Face Lift technique involves a tiny incision just below the lower eyelid lashes and restores tissues with special sutures. Removal of excess skin is performed only if necessary. The operation should be carried out at a clinic or a hospital.
The only complication includes a lower eyelid ectropion, which requires surgical intervention.
