Midface lift surgery is performed through an incision made at the lower eyelid, just below the eyelashes. The midface tissue is lifted from the bone and suspended upwards, anchored to the periosteum of the cheekbone. It is ideal for patients who are planning lower eyelid surgery due to excess skin and who also have midface sagging.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Generally suitable for patients over the age of 30 with midface sagging, puffiness, and excess skin in the lower eyelids.

If the patient continues skin quality treatments or combines with fillers or fat injections in case of volume loss, this period may be extended.
