The endoscopic technique made the mid face lift possible. For the first time, hard to reach areas such as the folds next to the nose, and the weightiness around the mouth/jawline can be surgically repositioned.

The mid face lift vertically elevates and repositions sagging cheek and jowl pads to increase cheek volume and create a well defined profile. For the female patient, the mid face lift provides an excellent opportunity to "open" the outside corners of the eyes. The mid face lift is a compliment for patients who have had traditional facelifts because it directly lifts the weightiness off the central portion of the face. In many cases, this procedure is useful to correct the "wind-swept" look of the "New York yank" and the "Miami mask".

A few words about the mid face lift procedure....
The video endoscopic mid face lift is performed through minimal incisions in the hair, above the ears and inside the upper lip. The fat pads that have gravitated into the jowls and the nasal folds are carefully repositioned to their former positions - creating high cheek pads and a well defined neckline.

Because this is a highly selective surgical procedure, it can be an ideal option for a patient in their late 30's and early 40's. It can replace a tired look with a refreshed appearance while reinforcing facial integrity - which prolongs a youthful appearance. A mid face lift is often performed with a facelift for best results.
