Mid-Facelift in Turkey

A mid-facelift, also known as a cheek lift, is a cosmetic surgical procedure that focuses on rejuvenating the middle portion of your face, specifically the area from your eyes to your mouth.

Here’s a breakdown of what it entails:

What it addresses:

Sagging cheeks: As we age, the fat pads in our cheeks lose volume and descend, leading to a hollow or drooping appearance.

Nasolabial folds: These are the lines that run from the sides of your nose to the corners of your mouth, which become more prominent with age due to cheek descent.

Under-eye hollows: A mid-facelift can help improve the appearance of hollowness under the eyes by lifting and repositioning the cheek fat.
How it works:

Incisions: The surgeon makes incisions, typically within the hairline and around the ears, to access the underlying tissues.

Lifting and repositioning: The skin and underlying tissues, including fat and muscle, are lifted and repositioned to create a more youthful contour.

Tightening: Excess skin may be removed, and the remaining skin is tightened to create a smoother, more defined appearance.

Benefits of a mid-facelift: More youthful appearance: By addressing sagging cheeks and under-eye hollows, a mid-facelift can create a more refreshed and youthful look.

Improved facial contours: The procedure can help restore definition to the cheeks and jawline.

Long-lasting results: While aging continues, the results of a mid-facelift can last for several years.

Important considerations:

Not a replacement for a full facelift: A mid-facelift focuses on the midface and may not address sagging skin in the lower face or neck.

Recovery time: There will be some swelling and bruising after the procedure, and it may take several weeks to fully recover.

Potential risks: As with any surgery, there are potential risks associated with a mid-facelift, such as infection, bleeding, and adverse reactions to anesthesia.
