What Is A Mid-Facelift?
Facial aging is influenced by ptosis (tissue sagging), atrophy (volume loss), and decreased skin quality. At Gulf Coast Plastic Surgery, a mid-facelift targets the sagging of the upper cheek and lower eyelid. Combining this with fat grafting and skin resurfacing can greatly enhance the results. The mid-facelift lifts these tissues for a better facial contour but does not address the neck, jowls, or lateral cheeks. Contact our Pensacola, FL office to learn more.
What Is the Surgical Technique?
The procedure involves making an incision just below the lower eyelashes and additional incisions inside the mouth. These incisions address the tear trough and elevate the middle-upper cheek. This surgery typically takes about 3 – 4 hours to complete. For less severe tear troughs or orbital-malar creases, dermal fillers can be used temporarily to mask these issues.
What Are the Benefits of A Mid-Facelift?
A mid-facelift rejuvenates the middle face, focusing on the upper cheeks and lower eyelids. This procedure in Pensacola, FL offers several benefits, such as:
- Lifts sagging upper cheek and lower eyelid tissues
- Enhances facial contours for a youthful look
- Improves skin quality when combined with resurfacing
- Restores volume with fat grafting

- Targets specific areas without affecting the neck or jowls

Am I A Candidate For A Mid-Facelift?
Ideal candidates for a mid-facelift are individuals who are primarily concerned with sagging in the cheek area and hollows under the eyes. They are typically in good overall health and have realistic expectations about the outcome of the surgery. This procedure is best suited for those who do not have significant jowling or neck laxity, as the mid-facelift specifically focuses on the central part of the face. A consultation with our board-certified plastic surgeon can help determine if this procedure is the right choice for your aesthetic goals.
