Am I a good candidate for a mid facelift and blepharoplasty? (Photo)

In order to fully answer your question, a consultation with more information is necessary. I will say that in general, midface lifts are a bad idea, especially when midfacial volume can be substantially improved with Sculptra (2-3 year result). Endoscopic midface lifts are performed far less frequently than 1-2 decades ago. I am not sure if your are referring to an upper or lower lid blepharoplasty, and I wouldn't recommend either based on current photos. I am suspicious that you have a negative vector or relatively flat/ recessed midface, making lower lid blepharoplasty a riskier procedure.

A facelift is appropriate for this amount of facial aging. However it is important to note that loss of fat in the midface might not improve with facelift alone. It will likely need fillers or fat transfer to get the best result.

Thank you for your inquiry! Looking at your photos, you would be a great candidate for an upper bleph procedure as that takes away excess skin to your eyelids. We would love to sit down with you and explore options to help you reach your goals. I recommend scheduling a consultation with a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon like myself so we can create a surgical plan for you!

From your photographs, you would be a good candidate for a mini facelift, and fat injections to the face. Your eyelids look good and there is no need for any surgery. I would consult with a plastic surgeon and discuss this more in detail.

Hi, hope this message finds you well. It would be best to start with a virtual or in-person consultation to better asses your face. We are happy to curate a plan to get you looking and feeling your best. Although we are located in Chicago we have patients that fly in from all over the world for procedures. Check out the links and please feel free to contact the office for more information.

In person exam is essential, as well as review of standard photos taken in front of plain background - including profile and sub-mental views. Based on your limited photos- it's not clear what you would benefit from. There are multiple factors that contribute to upper lid sagging. I suggest that you seek an experienced Board Certified PS and review your options during your in person consultation

Your face is asymmetrical and you have a very high forehead. You would benefit from a browlift to decrease the height of the forehead, lower the hairline and raise the eyebrows to the level of the orbital rim. You can undergo a blepharoplasty at the same time. I would recommend doing the browlift first before considering the blepharoplasty. In terms of the face, you may benefit from a facelift to soften the nasolabial folds and create more symmetry.

Best Wishes,

Gary Horndeski, M.D.

Thank you for your query. You appear to be a good candidate for a mid face lift and possibly a blepharoplasty. I would recommend some facial fillers as well. Please find an experienced Board certified Plastic surgeon who can examine you and help you with all your concerns. All the best!

You are a reasonable candidate to have your lower lids done. I wouldn’t bother with a midface lift. Looks like your better off with a standard facelift than a midface

Many men have similar concerns about facial aging. A facelift to address premature jowling and under eye fillers to restore volume and fullness are common solutions, although specific needs are difficult to assess from photos. The best way to accurately determine the proper treatment is by scheduling an in-person consultation with a board-certified facial plastic surgeon in your area.


Be well and good luck,
Dr. Todd Hobgood
