Hi,
Mid-facelifts are designed to lift the area of the cheek and also the loose tissue around the eyes.
There are two ways to lift the midfacial tissue:
- Through an incision of the lower eyelid. The loose soft tissues of the cheek are elevated and sutured to the bony lower eyelid ( infraorbital rim).
- Endoscopic technique where the incisions in the hairline at the temple. This incisions allows lifting of the loose tissue in the cheek and eye towards the area from which they drooped.
I prefer the Endoscopic technique because it allows better suturing and repositioning of the drooped cheek and eyelid tissue.
Hope this helps,
Dr.S.
