Erase Aging With Mid-Face Lifts
Aging can cause significant facial changes, especially in the cheek and mid-face regions. Loss of volume, sagging skin, and the development of deep lines can affect one’s overall appearance and self-confidence. At Bluewater Plastic Surgery in Niceville, FL, we specialize in cheek and mid-face lifts to help rejuvenate your facial contours, giving you a more youthful and refreshed look. This procedure targets signs of aging in the mid-face area, restoring volume and improving facial harmony.
What is a cheek and mid-face lift?
A cheek and mid-face lift, also known as a mid-facelift, is a surgical procedure that targets the middle third of the face, including the area from the lower eyelids to the upper lip. The procedure lifts and repositions the underlying tissues and muscles, restoring a youthful contour to the cheeks and reducing the appearance of nasolabial folds (the lines running from the nose to the corners of the mouth.)
Who is a good candidate for a cheek and mid-face lift?
Ideal candidates for a cheek and mid-face lift are individuals with noticeable sagging or volume loss in the mid-face region, deep nasolabial folds, and overall dissatisfaction with their face’s aging appearance. Candidates should be in good overall health, non-smokers, and have realistic expectations about the procedure’s outcomes.
What can I expect during the procedure?
In a cheek and mid-face lift, the surgeon creates small incisions to reach the underlying facial structures, usually concealed in the hairline or mouth. The tissues are lifted and repositioned, and excess skin is removed if necessary. The procedure is generally performed under general anesthesia and can take two to three hours, depending on the extent of the lift.
What is the recovery process like?
Recovery from a cheek and mid-face lift typically involves some swelling and bruising, which can last a few weeks. Patients may feel some slight discomfort, but prescribed painkillers can help. Though it’s best to avoid strenuous activities for at least a month, most patients can resume work and regular activities in two weeks. Your surgeon will provide detailed post-operative care instructions to ensure a smooth recovery.
How long do the results last?
The results of a cheek and mid-face lift are long-lasting, often providing a more youthful appearance for many years. Patients who have undergone surgery will always look younger than they would have if they had not had the operation, even though the aging process will still occur. Maintaining a healthy lifestyle and skincare routine can also help prolong the results.
Are there any risks associated with the procedure?
As with any surgical procedure, a cheek and mid-face lift carries some risks, including infection, bleeding, scarring, and adverse reactions to anesthesia. However, complications are rare when a qualified and experienced plastic surgeon performs the procedure.
