What will a Mid Face Lift do for me?
Have your cheekbones lost their youthful roundedness as you've gotten older? Perhaps you have nose to mouth lines? Do you look older than you used to but its hard to say quite why?
By the time we reach our mid thirties the soft tissue from around the cheekbones starts to collapse and sag slightly and create naso labial folds (nose to mouth lines). This flattens the mid face area and makes your face look slightly masculine.
The proceedure itself is done through small cuts in the hairline and the inside of the mouth, so scars are practically non existent. No skin is removed (this is purely about lifting the midface area). The natural fatty layer over your cheekbones is lifted and repositioned back to its youthful position. The benefits of a midface lift are the removal of nose to mouth lines and the restoration of the roundedness over the cheekbones that will bring back a youthful, softer, more feminine appearance.
It is a safe proceedure in general, with few complications or side effects.

If you cannot get Aquamid where you live, or prefer surgery to permanent fillers - a mid-face lift would be appropriate for someone perhaps in their forties. Any older than that and you should consider a Deep Plane face lift which will tackle the midface reigon and more besides.
