Maxillary augmentation - Is there any surgery that can lift the entire maxilla (nose, cheekbone, etc.)? (Photos)

Dear Vivid,

If you're looking for a true anatomical lift of the midface, a LeFort I osteotomy is the gold standard. This procedure surgically moves the upper jaw (maxilla) forward and slightly upward, restoring harmony to the nose, upper lip, cheeks, and even your bite.

Here’s what it can help with:

Improve under-projected cheeks without implants
Bring the upper lip and base of the nose forward
Lift the paranasal area (area beside the nose)
Support a future rhinoplasty (especially for dorsal augmentation or tip support)
