Midface lifts are around half the price of facelifts, but the pricing varies by surgeon and region. The average for a midface lift around the country is around $3-5k or more and the face lift averages around S5-10k.
Midface lifts pull up the cheek tissue and are supposed to help the nasolabial folds. Face lifts are supposed to pull up the lower part of the face and can include the nasolabial folds if done more aggressively. They also improve the neck and the area under the chin. You definitely want to go to someone with an aesthetic eye and with lots of experience with these type of lifts.
You also want to go to a surgeon that will do the right procedure for you. Midface lifts are not one of my preferred procedures. They don't address a central problem of the midface area and that is the loss of volume. They just shift some volume up higher and have minimal results in my opinion. Volumizing with fat is the best way to do this or some type of filling material. Facelifts definitely can be used to improve the lower face that filling or volumizing has some problems improving.
