As we age,
gravity and fat deflation rob us of facial fullness. One area in which these
effects can be seen is the midface area. This is the area from the lower
eyelids to the nasolabial folds, (the lines from the nose to the corner of the
mouth). Over time, the mid-face area descends and loses volume (flattens). This
can make us appear more tired or older than we are.
An
endoscopic mid face lift is designed to specifically address the cheeks,
nasolabial folds, and to some degree, the area below the eyes. Surgery is
performed under general anesthesia. The incisions are placed unnoticeably
within the hairline of the temple area and on the inside of the mouth. With the
use of the endoscope, the fat pads of the cheeks will be repositioned up and anchored
with special sutures, over the cheekbones where they belong. This will reverse
the first signs of aging and restore the youthful contour of the face.
As the mid
face lift involves fewer regions than a full face lift the recovery time is
shorter and the healing is faster. Pain and discomfort is not usually severe
and this typically fades over a couple of days. Notice that this procedure
cannot treat or modify the lower face (jowls) and neck making a full facelift
for these areas necessary.
