I would like a second opinion. My surgeon has suggested a face lift for loose midface skin. He has suggested incision under the eye lashes only but i am concerned about people being able to see the scar and risk of eye drooping down. Would a lateral hairline incision not alone help or at least in addition to under eye incision.

Answer: Midface lift You have pinpointed the exact problem with that procedure. The midface will drop down dragging your lower lid with it. Many surgeons have learned this the hard way. Even if it doesn’t happen I’m your case the improvement a midface offers is minimal anyway. If you are a good candidate fir a facelift stick with the tried and true standard facelift.

Answer: Where and how visible are midface lift scars without makup and is under the eye the only way? HI Amber, Can u re-post your question with some photos? I do not like any facelift procedure that gets exposure and lift through the lower eyelid as this puts too much tension on the lower lid. Tension is responsible for bad scars so one really needs to see a photo before answering your question in a way that will help you make the right decision.Best,Dr. Christine Rodgers
