Smooth the Telltale Signs of Mid-Facial Aging

In your early to mid-thirties, the effects of gravity begin to appear, and your cheek tissue starts to sag. This results in drooping cheeks, hollow areas around the eyes, and deep nasolabial folds. This drooping process is referred to as the “descent of the mid-face,” and it can be effectively addressed with a mid-facelift with Dr. Firouz.

The Benefits

A Facelift That Ages with You

When Dr. Firouz performs facelifts, he makes strategic adjustments with your future in mind. He aims to create results that look exquisite today and will continue to look natural as you grow older. Nothing can stop the aging process, but a well-done facelift with Dr. Firouz can keep you looking youthful and beautiful for many years to come.

The Procedure

Dr. Firouz will perform your mid-facelift under deep sedation. The surgery can take several hours and is done endoscopically using a camera and tiny surgical tools. The incisions are only about one inch long and hidden behind the ears.

Through those openings, Dr. Firouz will manipulate the muscle and elevate the fat pads beneath your skin to smooth your wrinkles, tighten your facial tissues, and plump the area around your eyes. Once he has sufficiently smoothed and lifted your mid-face region, he will close the incisions with sutures.

Your Recovery

Immediately after surgery, Dr. Firouz will apply bandages and surgical drains to speed recovery and reduce swelling. The bandages and drains will be removed during your first post-operative visit.

You should sleep with your head elevated and avoid unnecessary activity during the initial recovery period. You can expect mild pain and moderate facial swelling during this time. These effects will subside quickly and most of our patients can return to work within two weeks.

Mid-FaceliftFAQ

Am I a candidate?

Most of our mid-facelift patients are between 30 and 50 years of age. They are concerned about deep smile lines, hollowed eyes, drooping cheeks, and other signs of facial aging. To be a candidate, you should be in good health, at a stable weight, and be realistic about what the procedure can accomplish.

How is a mid-facelift different than a traditional facelift?

A mid-facelift is unique because it focuses exclusively on the area between the corners of your eyes and the upper corners of your lips. The most prominent enhancements will appear along your cheeks. It cannot address signs of aging on your chin or forehead the way a full facelift can.

What are the risks of a mid-facelift?

When the surgery is done by an experienced, board-certified plastic surgeon like Dr. Firouz, a mid-facelift is very safe. Very rarely, risks can include blood clots, infection, and temporary muscle numbness.
