Midface Lift
Plastic Surgery in Atlanta, GA
As we age, we tend to lose youthful fat in our faces. Our fat pads in our cheeks begin to descend, which can lead to a sunken appearance or deep folds in the facial skin. A midface lift is a popular facial procedure that can create a refreshed facial appearance, restoring this youthful fullness for a refreshed look. Our office is 20 minutes from Downtown Atlanta, 15 minutes from Buckhead, 12 minutes from Brookhaven, and 30 minutes from the world’s busiest passenger airport: Atlanta Hartsfield-Jackson Airport.
What is a Midface Lift?
With a similar approach to the mini lift, the surgery known as a midface lift focuses on the hollow and lax areas close to the cheekbones and the upper jaw. This lift works well for those who hope to achieve improvement in the lower two-thirds of the face, which also improves the look of the jowls. This facelift technique enhances the look of the eyes, widens a thin face, and provides a more youthful appearance.
What Are the Benefits of a Midface Lift?
There are many benefits when it comes to a midface lift! The most common include a more youthful appearance and improved self-confidence. Since results are long-lasting, you can enjoy your improved appearance for years to come.
Who Are the Best Candidates For a Midface Lift?
Individuals who are looking to improve the appearance of sagging cheeks, a loss of cheek projection, loose skin in the midface, loss of volume under the eyes, or prominent nasolabial folds can often benefit from a midface lift. Ideal candidates are overall healthy and have realistic expectations for the outcome of their procedure. The best way to determine candidacy is through a consultation appointment with Dr. Walker.
What’s the First Step?
The first step toward a midface lift is scheduling a consultation with Dr. Walker at WalkerMD in Atlanta. During this appointment, Dr. Walker will listen to your goals, review all your relevant medical history, and perform a detailed facial analysis.
He will also explain the midface lift procedure step by step, show you before and after photos of previous patients, and discuss what kind of results you can realistically expect.
If you are a good candidate, he will also provide instructions on how to prepare for your surgery, including any necessary medical clearances, medication adjustments, and lifestyle recommendations to ensure optimal healing and results.
What to Expect on the Day of Midface Lift Surgery
A midface lift is performed in the operating room under anesthesia as an outpatient procedure. The incisions made for the midface lift are similar to those made for the traditional facelift. Deeper structures are released, which allows Dr. Walker to pull the muscles near the nose and the cheeks up. This moves and secures these muscles higher in the face, ultimately leading to a more youthful appearance.
Midface Lift Recovery
Following your midface lift procedure, you will be monitored by our team before you are released to go home. Drains may be placed to help collect any excess fluid during recovery, and bandages may be left in place for up to three days. Swelling and bruising are expected and completely normal, which can be lessened with cool compresses and head elevation. Bruising usually dissipates after about two weeks, while swelling may last for several months. All sutures will be removed after 1-2 weeks.
As your swelling subsides, you will be able to see your results and enjoy your more refreshed appearance. Clients may return to work as soon as they feel able. For some individuals, this may be sooner than for others, depending on their job type. You will be scheduled for follow-up visits during your recovery to ensure that you are healing properly.
