I have been suggested a MFL with incision under the eye as it is felt i now have excess skin which needs to be excised hence endoscopic not being an option. I assume as excess skin cannot be excised. Can this change the shape of the lower eyes by dragging skin down even many years later if not soon after?
Answer: It should not but it depends on your anatomy and how it's done A Mini Facelift can usually be an option on most realistic patients anytime after the age of 35-40. It really depends on your anatomy and genetics. It is best to talk to your surgeon because everybody has different techniques and recovery time is usually based on a number of factors.

Answer: Eye shape may change with this approach The midface lift approach is a good option for those who have simple descent of the midface and in particular the malar fat pad. When skin resection is necessary, this may need to be carried to the undereye. When this is done, it may alter the appearance of the lower lid (however, perhaps not in a bad way). I would look at before and afters from your surgeon to get a sense of what is achievable with this technique.

Answer: Eye shape with transblepharoplasty midfacelift approach The transblepharoplasty incision midfacelift sounds like an elegant approach. And it is. You really can technically lift the midfacial tissues through this minimalist approach. However, just because you can doesn't mean that you should do it all the time. The procedure is know for a high rate of complications even in the best of hands. These include eyelid complications, as you have mentioned, as well as the fact that you are pulling the thicker cheek skin onto an area that requires very thin skin. There are other, lesser invasive methods to achieve a mid facelift, and you should consult with a competent and experience facelift surgeon. I have performed a midfacelift as you describe, but usually to achieve a mild improvement in appearance when I'm already doing a lower blepharoplasty.

Answer: Will eyelid shape be changed with a midface lit performed throught the lower eyelid? HI Amber, It depends on the surgeon and their familiarity with the procedure. I will say that I have seen some fairly scary photos at meetings with type of technique and I personally would not perform a facelift that way. I do not think that you can get an adequate neck lift at all if you try to do a full facelift this way.Best,Dr. Christine Rodgers

Answer: Will the eye shape be changed with a Midface lift (MFL) performed from incision under the eyes? Hello, thank you for your question. There is not just one facelift procedure, but a whole range of facelift procedures. These different techniques have been developed over the years, involving different incisions and lifting the skin to varying degrees. A facelift may also involve the tightening of certain muscles and tissues, or liposuction of areas such as the jowls or chin. It is important to choose a highly skilled and experienced certified plastic surgeon to match your goals and skin type with the appropriate surgical techniques.
