I have attached a photo of the type of incision I want, as well as the area that I want lifted. I am 30F, healthy, non-smoker. I cannot, for the life of me, find a surgeon in Ontario that will take me as a patient for a face lift and I think it is because I am asking for the wrong type of face lift. I would like a single incision on each side of my face, right above my ear/around the temple area (not in front of my tragus) and I would like my mid-face lifted. What type of face lift is this?

Answer: Lifting procedures for 30 year olds You appear to have a lovely, young face and I would expect that surgeons turned you down because it is very uncommon to perform a facelift on a 30-year-old, particularly one who looks as young as you do! Just based on your photo, I would agree that you are not at all a surgical candidate for a facelift. What you are drawing on the picture could possibly be achieved with facial threads. The threads are inserted near the hair line and lift the midface in almost the exact direction that you drew on your picture. The threads are made of suture material that slowly dissolves over time, leaving behind collagen. However, I caution you against doing too much, as there is *nothing* that ages a young face like excessive aesthetic procedures. I recommend that instead of requesting a facelift, ask what the surgeon would recommend to help lift your midface -- and try to be open to their suggestions.

Answer: Facelift Thanks for your question! You are probably struggling to find a surgeon to do a facelift because it isn't indicated for someone that has a face as young as yours. Try to find someone who does threading. It can improve that area while not completely altering your face. Good luck.

Answer: Midfacelift surgery Hi, You actually gave the answer in your question, the type of surgery you describe in the picture is called mid-face lift surgery. If only mid-face improvement is required, this surgical method can be performed and can make you happy. However, it is difficult to evaluate whether this surgery can solve the problems you are complaining about, based on this picture. It is important that you could manage the process with a competent surgeon.Have a nice day.
