Subperiosteal midface lift: why are surgeons still doing this?

October 8, 2017
Asked By:Loveandpeace0 in

From what I've read, the subperiosteal mid face lift is controversial enough on its own. It is risky in terms of nerve damage, is renowned to cause mid face swelling and as a stand alone procedure, it can result in an hourglass type deformity where you look like the Scream. Is this true and why are surgeons still doing this?
