Some doctors say that midface lift and temporal/brow lifts only actually last a short period of time. Is this true?

Hi Natti! Thanks for the question. I wouldn't say that midface and/or brow lifts are short-lasting results. However, it depends on the patient and the technique used. Everyone's tissues are different, so one person's tissue may hold a lift longer than another's would. Typically, thin skin lacking elasticity (usually seen in older patients) might not hold a lift as long as young, thick skin would. Additionally, surgical techniques vary, but usually a "deep plane" approach allows for a longer-lasting result. On the other hand, lifts that are held only on the skin layer do not last long nor do they look natural. I hope this helps!

It all depends of preoperative situation like skin and deep tissues laxity. When brow lift is properly fixed and secured in a position (like with endotine plates) one can expect long lasting result of 10-15 years. It also depends of the age when lift is performed. Hope this helps.
