WHAT IS A MID-FACELIFT?
A mid-facelift is a cosmetic surgery that corrects sagging skin in the mid-face and tightens the skin in this area. It provides the face with a younger-looking appearance and reduces the sunken look in the under-eye area that comes with age. A mid-facelift only targets the mid-face region.

WHO IS A GOOD CANDIDATE TO RECEIVE A MID-FACELIFT?
If you are an adult in good health and you are looking to correct sagging cheek skin and loose skin around your eyes to restore a younger look to your overall facial appearance, you may be a good candidate for a mid-facelift. You must also have realistic expectations for the outcome of the surgery. If any of the following conditions apply to you, you may not be a good candidate for a mid-facelift:
- You are currently pregnant or nursing.
- You smoke.
- You have a history of heart or pulmonary issues, as these can create complications with the anesthesia.
