Mid facelift and Subperiosteal cheek lift

Ricardo Rodriguez, MD answers: Are Mid Facelift and Subperiosteal Cheek Lift the same?

I'm 52 years old and female. I got a mini face lift last spring and look pretty good around my neckline. I also had my lower eyelids done, which look good, too. Problem is just that my mid face looks tired and the skin beside my nose is kinda baggy. When I lift it up with my little finger, it looks great. What can I do to handle this?

A Midfacelift is a generic term that includes all sort of techniques to enhance the area around the eyes and cheeks. 

The subperiosteal cheek lift is one way of doing it. One could also combine a variety of other techniques just to improve the look around the midface area, such as fat grafting, implants, or even deep threadlifts.

What is really important to understand is that the midface is what other people concentrate on when they look at your face. Check out the post and video below for a lengthier explanation.
