What is a midfacelift?
A mid-facelift is a surgical treatment that focuses on the central part of the face, primarily the cheeks, cheekbones, and the transition to the lower eyelids.
As we age, the soft tissues of the face lose volume and elasticity. As a result, the cheeks can sag, nasolabial folds deepen, and a tired appearance often develops around the eyes.
During a mid-facelift, these tissues are returned to their original position. This restores the contours of the mid-face and gives the face a fresh and rested appearance once again.
Why choose a mid-facelift?
Restoration of facial volume
Sagging tissues are repositioned, making the cheeks appear fuller.
Softer nasolabial fold
The midface lift reduces deep wrinkles around the mouth.
Youthful appearance
The treatment restores contours that have been lost over the years.
Natural result
The patient's own tissues are repositioned without making the face unnaturally tight.
The treatment process
Consultation
During an extensive consultation, we analyze the contours of the midface and discuss your expectations.
Analysis
We assess the position of the cheeks, the volume of the face, and the quality of the skin.
The intervention
The underlying tissues are carefully loosened and repositioned higher for a natural lifting effect.
Recovery
After the treatment, the face is given time to recover while swelling gradually subsides.
Result
The facial contours are refined and the mid-face regains a youthful projection.
Who is a mid-face lift suitable for?
A mid-facelift is suitable for patients who primarily experience volume loss and sagging in the cheeks and mid-face.
Sagging cheeks
When the cheeks have lost their original position.
Deeper nasolabial folds
For patients bothered by the formation of folds next to the nose and mouth.
Tired appearance
When volume loss around the eyes and cheeks gives an older appearance.
Natural rejuvenation
For those who desire a subtle improvement without a full facelift.
A refined rejuvenation of the mid-face
The mid-face largely determines how young and fresh a face looks. When the cheeks lose volume and sag, the contours of the entire face change.
A mid-facelift corrects these changes by repositioning the existing tissues higher. This restores support at the cheekbones and softens the transition to the lower eyelids.
At o2 Clinic, we strive for results that look natural and align with your own anatomy. The goal is a rested appearance where the focus is not on the treatment, but on the overall picture.
Recovery & Aftercare
During the first few days after a mid-facelift, swelling, a feeling of tightness, and slight discoloration may occur around the cheeks and eyes. This is a normal part of the healing process.
As the weeks pass, these reactions gradually decrease and the new contours become increasingly visible. Most patients can resume their daily activities after about two weeks.
During recovery, we closely monitor the healing process and provide personal guidelines to support an optimal result.
The final effect of the treatment becomes visible as soon as the tissues have fully settled and assumed their final position.
