Mid Face Lift- What does it correct?

 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 lower face in the same operation without the need for a endoscopic midface lift.  Also, it is important to note that in many cases volume augmentation (fat transfer) is required to restore the mid face contour in a natural way. 

The goal of endoscopic mid face lift is to use small incisions and micro instruments for lifting of the cheeks and nasolabial folds.  This is a surgery that is only effective when performed correctly.  All the facial attachments need to be released without damaging the important surrounding tissues.

Make sure your main issue is the mid face.  If you are concerned about your jowls then the procedure of choose would be a High Extended SMAS Facelift or deep plane face lift with fat transfer to correct the mid face, lower face and neck.
