Lift the Area That Ages Before the Rest

The cheeks and area beneath the eyes are often among the first places to show volume loss and sagging, sometimes well before the lower face and neck follow. Because our team includes board-certified/eligible surgeons with decades of combined experience in facial procedures, we approach every mid-facelift in Jackson, MS, with close attention to how this central area affects the balance of the whole face.

What Is a Mid-Facelift?

A mid-facelift is a surgical procedure that targets the cheeks and the area beneath the eyes, repositioning tissue that has begun to sag or lose volume. Unlike a traditional facelift, which primarily addresses the lower face and neck, a mid-facelift focuses specifically on restoring fullness and lift to the central portion of the face.

The Benefits of a Mid-Facelift

  • Restored Cheek Volume: The procedure lifts and repositions tissue that has descended or thinned over time.
  • Softened Under-Eye Hollowing: Repositioning tissue in this area can reduce the appearance of hollowness beneath the eyes.
  • Improved Facial Balance: Addressing the mid-face can restore proportion between the upper and lower face.
  • Natural-Looking Results: Thoughtful technique restores fullness without an overly tight or altered appearance.
  • Combination Potential: A mid-facelift is often combined with a traditional facelift, eyelid surgery, or other procedures for more comprehensive rejuvenation.

Is a Mid-Facelift Right for Me?

A mid-facelift in Flowood, MS, is a good option for patients noticing volume loss or sagging specifically in the cheeks or under-eye area, particularly if this concern is more pronounced than changes in the lower face and neck. During your consultation, we'll evaluate your facial structure and goals to determine whether a mid-facelift alone, or combined with another procedure, is the right approach.

Your Mid-Facelift Results and Recovery

Most patients take about two weeks off from work, with more strenuous activity restricted for several weeks longer. Swelling and bruising gradually subside over the following weeks, and final results become clearer as healing progresses over the following months. Results are considered long-lasting, though the natural aging process continues afterward.

Mid-Facelift Frequently Asked Questions

How is a mid-facelift different from a traditional facelift?

A traditional facelift addresses the lower face and neck, while a mid-facelift focuses specifically on the cheeks and under-eye area. The two are often combined for more comprehensive results.

Will I have visible scarring?

Incisions are typically placed in inconspicuous locations, such as within the hairline or inside the mouth, depending on technique, and scars fade significantly over time.

How long do mid-facelift results last?

Results are considered long-lasting, often a decade or more, though the natural aging process continues afterward.

Can a mid-facelift be combined with other procedures?

Yes, a mid-facelift is often combined with a traditional facelift, eyelid surgery, or other procedures for more comprehensive rejuvenation.

How long before I can return to normal activity?

Most patients return to work within about two weeks, with a gradual return to exercise and strenuous activity over the following weeks.

Am I a candidate for a mid-facelift if I haven't noticed changes in my lower face?

Yes. Many patients experience mid-face changes independently of lower face and neck changes, making a mid-facelift alone an appropriate option.

Is financing available for a mid-facelift?

Yes, we offer financing options for patients interested in learning more. Ask our team during your consultation for details.
