There are two approaches to a mid facelift: trough the temples and the lower lid. Which approach is more effective for patients who have a negative vector?
Answer: Treating the Mid-Face Area This is a very complicated area of the face and different plastic surgeons have different techniques in order to improve it. As you mentioned, there are techniques through the lower eyelid, however, a lot of those end up in complications such as ectropion. Then, there are also the techniques carried through the temporal area. These methods sometimes are not so effective and can create alopecia around the temples. There are techniques such as the extended SMAS or high SMAS. The combination of lifting with fat injection can as well improve a negative vector.

Answer: Determining the correct approach for you Hello, and thank you for your question. A personal evaluation is best to determine the appropriate surgical approach. It will depend on your skin, facial profile, the severity of issues, your goals, and the surgeon’s skills and techniques. I recommend scheduling an in-person consultation with a reputable board-certified facial plastic surgeon. During your consultation, your surgeon can perform a proper evaluation, recommend the best approach, and ensure the best possible outcome.

Answer: Midface lift I never bought into the nonsense of negative vectors. I don’t even know what it’s supposed to mean. I’m also not a fan of midface lifts. They do remarkably little and I’ve seen some bad problems with the lower eyelid dragging down
