Over time, the midface area, including the cheekbones, cheeks, and nasolabial folds, loses volume and sags. This can make the face look tired and aged. A midface lift is a surgical technique that restores natural volume and rejuvenates this key part of the face. This article explains in detail what a midface lift is.
A midface lift is a surgical procedure to correct sagging cheekbones and smooth out nasolabial folds (the folds between the nose and mouth). By lifting the tissues in this area, Dr. Bergeret Galley restores volume to the cheeks and reestablishes harmony between the upper and lower parts of the face. This technique is particularly suitable for people whose signs of aging are mainly concentrated in the center of the face, but who do not require a full facelift.
With age, the subcutaneous tissues of the mid-third sag and migrate downward, causing a loss of volume in the cheekbones and cheeks, and the appearance of deep folds. This phenomenon gives a tired and sad appearance, even if the rest of the face still appears relatively young. The midface lift specifically corrects these signs by lifting sagging tissues and redefining the natural contours of the face.
The midface lift is mainly intended for patients aged 40 to 60, who are beginning to feel sagging in this area, but who do not necessarily want a full facelift. Here are the signs that you might be a good candidate for this procedure:
Sagging cheekbones: If your cheekbones have lost volume and appear to be falling, a midface lift can reposition them.
Marked nasolabial folds: The procedure reduces the appearance of the folds that run from the nose to the mouth.
Moderate sagging: If the sagging is mainly concentrated in the center of the face, a midface lift is enough to restore harmony.
Before proceeding with an intervention, the cosmetic surgeon, Doctor Bergeret Galley in Paris performs an in-depth consultation. He assesses the elasticity of your skin, sagging tissues and your expectations in terms of results. A personalized plan will be established to ensure a natural result.
A midface lift is usually performed under general or local anesthesia with sedation. The cosmetic surgeon makes small, hidden incisions in the hairline or mouth. He then lifts the deep tissues of the face and repositions the muscles and skin to restore lost volume. The procedure lasts approximately 1 to 2 hours, depending on the extent of the work to be done.
After a midface lift, recovery is relatively quick. Patients may experience slight swelling and bruising, which disappear within a few days. The final results appear after a few weeks, once the tissues have fully stabilized.
A midface lift restores volume to the cheekbones, reduces the appearance of nasolabial folds and restores a smoother transition between the different parts of the face. The results are often subtle, but can significantly rejuvenate the patient's appearance without altering their natural expression. The results of a midface lift can last from 5 to 10 years, depending on the quality of the skin, lifestyle and care given after the procedure.
The cost of a midface lift in Paris varies depending on the complexity of the procedure and the surgeon chosen. On average, prices range between €4,000 and €8,000, depending on the specifics of each case.
The midface lift is an ideal procedure for those looking to restore the volumes of their face and regain a younger and fresher appearance without having to undergo a complete facelift. Paris, with its qualified surgeons and modern clinics, is a privileged place to perform this procedure.
