MIDFACE LIFT Midface lift helps correct the sagging of the cheek fat pads and midface that occurs with aging. This improves the nasolabial folds (folds from the nose to the corner of the lips). Elevation of the sagging cheek fat pads and midface gives a more youthful appearance and higher appearing cheekbones without implants. MINI-FACE LIFT The mini-face lift provides rapid healing with little swelling and recovery time. The incision is in front, under and a small amount behind the ear. Excess skin and underlying tissues are removed and the jowls are elevated and the neckline sagging tissues improved. Soft tissues are elevated and moved away from the midline rather than excised to give a more youthful round face rather than the elongated sagging aged face. In the past, too much fat has been removed from the face rather than repositioned. Women with long hair can cover the incision immediately while in males and short hair, the scar is noticeable until healed.
