Mid Face Lift Surgery

Many changes occur to the face during the aging process. The skin loses laxity, fat dissipates and soft tissue sags. In the midface, this can impact the connection between the eyes and cheeks. Larger bags or circles can form under eyes, and the cheeks can sag and deeper nasolabial lines form. A solution is midface lift surgery to reshape and elevate the upper cheeks. At LM Medical NYC, we offer various facial lift surgeries to combat aging at our state-of-the-art facilities in Manhattan.

When the face is younger, the skin and tissue under the eyes smoothly transition into the upper cheek. With aging, this area can shift and change. As the skin loses elasticity and gravity takes hold the buccal fat pads, muscles and tissue in the upper cheeks, can sag. This enhances the nasolabial fold around the nose and flattens the youthful contours of the cheeks. At the same time, the lower eyelid can sink, tear troughs can deepen and eye bags can form. This can create two separate sections in the midface, eye bags and drooping, flat cheeks. The result is a face and eyes that look tired and older.
