What is the Best Procedure to Lift the Midface?

A set of photos would really help to provide you with the best advice. In general, the results of a full facelift can last up to ten years before any touch ups are necessary, and it is the most effective procedure.  A full facelift addresses the following areas:
1) neck 2) Jowls and 3) Midface. Each patient has different circumstances, and a thorough in-person evaluation will help determine the best procedure for you.

Depending on your needs and goals, a less invasive procedure may be adequate.  An example is a mini facelift, where the incision is shorter. A mini facelift has its benefits as well, such as less time in the operating room and a lower cost.

In listening to your concerns, I would also advise you to look into replacing the lost volume in your midface with fillers, fat transfer, etc.  Lifting sagging tissue without replacing lost volume can lead to an unnatural look.

I would recommend seeking the advice of a specialist who has a great deal of experience performing facelift surgery.  I hope this helps!

 

Midface lift vs. fat transfer depends on what one finds on examination. It sounds like you would best be served by a cheek lift with an Endotine to accomplish what you said. The Endotine will fix the tissue to the bone and gives excellent results over the long term.
