Mid face lift
There is no one operation that lasts longer than the next. The quality of the result depends upon the surgeon, as well as the individual tissues.

Try a cheek suspension
I offer cheek suspensions instead of mid face lifts. It is less recovery time and it will lift your sagging tissue from the area above the nasolabial fold up and lateral to its original position. It will also improve your lip and the sagging skin next to it.

Longest Lasting Midface Lift Technique
The longevity of results depends on the surgeon, not the technique. It is fair to say the results will last forever because you'll always look better than you would if you didn't have the surgery. The method selected does depend on the needs of each patient, but I prefer doing the midface lift via a lower eyelid incision with Endotine fixation.

Midface Lift longevity
There is really no way to compare longevity of methods, as there are so many different methods used. I, personally, do not do a separate midface lift. Instead, I lift the midface when doing a facelift or lower blepharoplasty (eyelift). You need to ask whomever you see to show you results and discuss longevity. A simple guideline, however, is that methods that secure the elevated tissues to something solid, like fascia or periosteum instead of other soft tissue, will generally last longer...

Longest lasting midface lift.
It depends on the quality and experience of the surgeon. I prefer the Endotine midface lift since I can lift the cheek closest to the problem (thru the eyelid and not the temple) and secure it to the bone. The BBC televised me doing this with the excellent result 5-7 years ago.
