SURGERY

A mid facelift addresses some of the earliest signs of aging and is usually performed on patients concerned about sagging skin in the cheeks and the surrounding area.

It targets your cheeks and the under-eye area by pulling back the soft tissues for a younger, rejuvenated appearance. The procedure is usually performed using small incisions around the hairline to minimize scarring on the face.

A mid facelift is suitable for patients who do not have much loose skin or prominent wrinkles on the lower part of the face. It fully treats your upper cheeks and eyelid surface, and is also commonly known as a cheek lift.

Before the Surgery

  • Read the pre-surgery instructions They will help prevent complications and improve outcomes for your surgery.
  • Medical history assessment (any allergies, serious medical condition and all medications taken both prescribed and non-prescribed), physical examination, and laboratory tests will be performed during consultation.
  • Avoid smoking   for about 3-4 weeks prior to surgery, as nicotine interferes with circulation and will greatly affect healing process.
  • Stop drinking alcohol, a week before the surgery and throughout your recovery period.
  • Taking any medications should be avoided such as hormones, anticoagulants, anabolic steroids and supplements at least 4-6 weeks to prevent complicating medical factors prior to surgery, and also avoid taking aspirin, anti-inflammatory drugs and herbal supplements as they can increase bleeding.

Recovery

  • A fair amount of bruising and swelling are expected for 1-2 weeks after surgery. Ice and ocular lubricants can be helpful early on. Stitches are usually removed 7-10 days after surgery. There can be a period lasting several weeks of an overcorrected or “Asian” appearance to the eyes which relaxes over a period of 4-6 weeks.
