Mid Face Lift

Mid face lift is a procedure that I use mostly in men and women around 35 to 50 who don’t yet need a full face lift. It really only treats the central portion of the face. So people that have jaw or neck problems would not be candidates for that procedure. To do a mid face lift the incisions are hidden inside the mouth and in the hairline, and what I do is use an endo tie which is a great little device with some small prongs that substitutes for suture, that goes inside the mouth and holds the tissue up into a new position. It actually in about 6 months will dissolve but by that time all of the tissues are healed in their new position so it’s unnecessary. This avoids having a permanent implant in place.
One of the other times that I also do this procedure is in women that have had face lifts in some of the older styles where they don’t look as natural and they may have a lot of flattening in the mid face, and then this is a great isolated procedure to give them some more fullness and a natural look in the central portion of their face because that’s really what determines youth and beauty is a full central portion of the face.
