What would an endoscopic mid-face lift correct?

Endoscopic midface lift will re-suspend the cheeks up to a higher position, which will only minimally help the jowls. Jowls are best addressed through comprehensive face/neck lift, which addresses both the jowls of the neck, excess fat above and below the platysma muscle. A face/neck lift also involves... more

As an experienced endoscopic mid-face lift surgeon, I can say that in most cases it does not affect the jowl area. The primary areas affected are the periorbital (around the eye) and cheek areas.

The midface lift is used to improve the area beneath the eyes, from the lower orbital margin to the corner of the mouth. It does little or nothing for the jowls. There are many techniques used to achieve this lift; endoscopy is one of them. Your surgeon should explain the advantages and disadvantages of each.

Hi! The mid face lift is a great operation but it will not correct jowls or a loose neck.  It lifts the corners of the mouth, the cheeks, and the lower eyelids.

As others have already pointed out, a mid-face lift does not address the lower face or jowls. A traditional face lift, or variation, will help treat the jowl area and neck. Mid-face plastic surgery helps rejuvenate the nasolabial fold, midface volume loss, and tear-trough deformity, and nasojugal... more

An endoscopic mid face lift is designed to specifically address your cheeks, nasolabial folds, and to some degree, the area below your eyes. It is an effective procedure under the proper circumstances, but, the procedure does have potential complications you will need to ask your surgeon about. Unfortunately,... more

 The endoscopic midface lift  is designed to reposition and lift the soft tissues of the cheek back up toward the cheek bone.  This helps to soften the nasolabial folds. However, to improve the jowls and neck, a facelift is required.  Some facelift techniques will correct the mid face and... more
