Treatment Overview

A mid-face lift is an advanced surgical technique designed to restore youthful contours by addressing descent of the cheeks, sagging skin, deep folds, and weakened facial structures. A mid-face lift aims to reposition and lift the cheeks for long-lasting, natural-looking results. This procedure also improves nasolabial folds (nose to mouth lines), and mid-face sagging, making it ideal for individuals seeking central facial rejuvenation.

For a rejuvenated appearance that enhances confidence, Mr Paul Wilson is the trusted choice for mid-face surgery.

As we age, the skin and underlying structures of the face undergo significant changes. Collagen and elastin production diminish, causing skin to lose elasticity and firmness. Fat pads in the cheeks descend, creating hollowness and sagging. Muscle tone weakens, and gravity exacerbates jowling along the jawline and deepens nasolabial folds. The loss of youthful contours can leave individuals looking tired or older than they feel, prompting many to consider surgical intervention for rejuvenation.

A mid-face lift is a highly advanced procedure that addresses central facial ageing at its root by lifting and repositioning not just the skin but also the deeper layers of facial tissue overlying the cheek bones. This technique provides long-lasting, natural results. The surgery begins with carefully placed incisions around the hairline and below the lower eyelid lash line, ensuring they are discreet and minimally visible after healing. These incisions allow Mr Wilson to access and precisely release and re-locate the soft tissues constituting the cheek. The released tissue is lifted and repositioned to restore youthful contours in the cheeks and mid-face. Any excess skin is then trimmed from the lower eyelid, and the incisions are meticulously closed to promote optimal healing and minimal scarring.

The mid-face is suspended to the temporal fascia in the hairline either with sutures or the Endochor mid-face ribbon device.

  • Repositions tissue at its natural anchor points for a youthful yet authentic appearance.
  • Addresses sagging in the cheeks, lower eyelids and mid-face simultaneously.
  • Discreet incisions reduce visible scarring.
  • Restores a youthful appearance, enhancing self-esteem.

Post-Operative Recovery

The recovery process for a mid-face lift typically spans several weeks. After the surgery, patients can expect some swelling, bruising, and tightness in the face, which are normal and temporary. Pain is generally mild and can be managed with prescribed medication.

Swelling and bruising are most pronounced during the first week. Expect numbness around the facelift incisions and ears.  Patients should rest and keep their heads elevated to promote healing. During the second week, most patients begin to notice a significant reduction in swelling and can resume light daily activities. By 4-6 weeks, swelling has largely subsided, and the full effects of the facelift start to become evident. At this point, many patients feel comfortable returning to social activities.

The initial results of a mid-face lift are visible within a few weeks as swelling diminishes, but the final, refined results emerge over several months. Patients are rewarded with smoother contours, lifted features, and a more youthful, refreshed appearance that can last for many years with proper skincare and maintenance.

FAQ

A mid-face lift is considered safe when performed by an experienced and qualified surgeon like Mr Paul Wilson. The procedure involves advanced techniques to reposition deep tissue layers, minimising risks and maximising results. As with any surgery, potential complications include infection, scarring, or prolonged swelling, but these are uncommon with proper care. Mr Wilson conducts thorough preoperative consultations and uses state-of-the-art facilities to ensure safety. Following postoperative instructions and attending follow-ups also play a crucial role in ensuring a smooth recovery and optimal outcome.

Most patients experience mild to moderate discomfort rather than pain after a deep plane facelift. During the procedure, anaesthesia ensures no sensation, and afterward, swelling and tightness may cause temporary discomfort. Mr Wilson provides appropriate pain management strategies, including prescribed medications, to keep patients comfortable during recovery. Many report that any discomfort diminishes significantly within the first week. Patients are encouraged to rest, avoid strenuous activities, and follow care instructions to reduce discomfort and promote healing.

After surgery, patients should rest with their head elevated to reduce swelling. Mr Wilson provides detailed care instructions, including cleaning incisions, using prescribed ointments, and avoiding strenuous activities. Ice packs may help manage swelling, while prescribed medications address discomfort. Patients should avoid smoking, alcohol, and direct sunlight during recovery. Regular follow-up appointments ensure proper healing. Sticking to these aftercare guidelines promotes faster recovery and minimises complications.

Follow-up appointments are typically scheduled within the first week after surgery to monitor initial healing. Additional appointments may occur at 3 weeks, 6 weeks, 3 months, and 6 months post-surgery, depending on individual progress. Mr Wilson closely tracks each patient’s recovery to ensure optimal results and address any concerns. These check-ups are an essential part of the recovery process, allowing adjustments or interventions if necessary. Patients are encouraged to communicate openly and attend all scheduled follow-ups to achieve the best outcome.

The results of a mid-face lift are long-lasting, often maintaining a youthful appearance for 10-15 years or more. However, natural aging will continue, and some patients may opt for a touch-up or additional procedures in the future to maintain their desired look. Maintaining a healthy lifestyle, using sun protection, and following skincare routines can prolong results. Mr Wilson discusses realistic expectations during consultations, helping patients understand the longevity of their facelift and options for future enhancements if needed.

CO2 laser resurfacing is an optional treatment that can be used as a top-up treatment a few months or years down the line. This has the effect of diminishing wrinkles and lines and generally tightening the facial skin.

Mid-face lifts are often combined with a neck lift, upper and lower eyelid blepharoplasty, brow lift and lip lift for a comprehensive pan-facial rejuvenation.
