Midface Lift (Cheek Lift)
in Indiana
One of the telltale signs of aging in the face is the loss of fullness over the cheekbones. The youthful curves that frame the eyes in the upper portion of the cheeks are replace by a dull, flattened contour, and the sagging tissues lead to heavy folds of skin adjacent to the upper lip.
The traditional facelift lifts the sagging skin and muscles of the lower face and neck, but it does little to address the flattening of the upper part of the midface.
A new twist on the facelift is the Midface Lift, also known as the Cheek Lift. The skin and soft tissues of the cheek are lifted and suspended to recreate the youthful contours and simulate the attractive curves of high cheekbones.
Some women develop sagging of the cheek skin in their late 30s and 40s before sagging has occurred in the lower face and neck. In this group, a Midface Lift can be considered instead of a facelift. It can be performed alone or with Eyelid Surgery (Blepharoplasty) or a Brow Lift to maintain harmony of the upper portions of the face. It can also be used to improve the results of a Facelift, particularly in people who have the appearance of "heavy" skin and soft tissues in their face.
