The Mid-Face Lift: Targeted Anti-Aging

A mid-face lift is a minimally invasive surgery that achieves outstanding anti-aging results. This technique addresses the area from the corners of your eyes to the corners of your mouth, including:

  • The cheek fat nearest to your nose
  • Just below the lower eyelids
  • The area above your lip

While a traditional facelift usually focuses on the lower part of the face, neck, mouth, and jowls, it takes at least twice as long to recover as a mid-face lift.

What to Expect During Your Mid-Face Lift With Dr. Meade 

Mid-face lifts are typically performed under general anesthesia or local anesthesia with sedation. To begin your surgery, Dr. Meade will make small incisions around the hairline and behind the ear to access your cheek fat pads, or malar pads. He’ll gently lift the tissue to create the appearance of sharper, more elevated cheekbones and will close your incisions with small sutures.

Patient-First Recovery in Dallas 

Recovery after a mid-face lift usually involves mild swelling, bruising, and tenderness for up to two weeks. You may need to wear compressive bandages or wraps to support the healing tissues and reduce swelling, and you should be prepared to wear tops that button up rather than pull over your head. Most patients return to light activity, including desk work, social gatherings, and driving, within two weeks, but you’ll need to avoid rigorous exercise for several weeks. 

After your procedure, you’ll head home with extensive aftercare instructions from Dr. Meade, which should include the following items: 

  • Incision site care and cleaning protocols
  • Skin care and hair care recommendations
  • Hygiene guidelines
  • Sun protection and exposure requirements
  • Activity limitations
  • Sleep position restrictions
  • Supportive garment guidance
  • Pain and swelling management strategies

You’ll return to our office several times over the coming weeks for follow-up visits with Dr. Meade. There, he’ll evaluate your healing progress, remove any remaining sutures, and approve your return to rigorous activity.

Frequently Asked Questions Mid Face Lift

What is the difference between a mid-face lift and a traditional facelift?

A mid-face lift focuses on the cheeks and under-eye area, or the middle face, while a traditional facelift addresses sagging skin along the entire face and the upper neck.

How long will my results last?

The results of your mid-face lift are designed to be long-lasting, and many patients enjoy their outcomes for ten years or longer. You can extend the longevity of your results by maintaining a consistent skin care routine and developing healthy lifestyle habits.

Will my scars be visible after healing?

Dr. Meade strategically places scars along the hairline and behind the ears to hide them within the natural creases of the face. This helps streamline the healing process and minimize the visibility of your scars once you’ve fully recovered.

When will I see my final results?

The final results of your mid-face lift will reveal themselves once all residual swelling has faded, which may take several weeks. Over time, you’ll notice a firmer, fuller, and more youthful appearance to your cheeks.

Can I combine a mid-face lift with other procedures?

Yes. Dr. Meade can create a customized care plan that integrates multiple treatments into a single surgery, helping streamline your recovery.
