I am concerned about nerve damage and unable to move my upper lip after surgery. What are the dangers involved with this procedure? Are Mid-face lifts more complicated than any other face procedures?

Answer: Midface lift through the mouth and Temple has a greater risk for facial nerve injury. I really don't think this is a particularly good procedure regardless you is doing it. The operation will pass through the plane of the facial nerve and subjects it to damage. I would get several other opinions about operative strategy before signing on to this.

Answer: Risks of mid-facelift The risks include, but are not limited to, bleeding, infection, anesthesia, permanent scars, injury to the infra-orbital nerve that supplies sensation to the middle third of face or the facial nerve branches that supply motor function to the facial muscles, asymmetry of the face, hair loss along the scalp incisions and recurrent sagging or laxity of the face requiring further intervention.
