Mid-facelift is a very good option.

George J. Beraka, MD answers: Lifting corners of the mouth by Mid-face lift?

How much will a Mid-face lift raise the corners of the mouth? I would like to avoid the scars of a corner of the mouth lift. And I have sunken cheeks. So it might kill 2 birds with 1 stone.

P.S. How bad are the scars from a corner of the mouth lift? I can't wear lipstick cause I'm a guy.

Hi!  In New York City, we think the mid-facelift is a very good operation.  It significantly lifts the corners of the mouth and provides fullness to the cheeks.  And there are no visible scars (the incisions are in the mouth and behind the temples in the hair).

How it is done is very important, so you neeed an experienced surgeon.  See the link below for a name near you.

We do not do or recommend the corner of the mouth lift.  The scars can be quite noticeable.
