Overview
Laxity in the soft tissues in the mid-face causes sagging cheeks and nasolabial fold prominence. A variety of procedures are available to rejuvenate the aging of the mid-face. There are non-surgical options such as Botox and dermal filler, less invasive procedures such as thread lift and more invasive but more permanent options such as mid-face lift.
Mid-face lift procedure (known by some as cheek lift) is a new trend in cosmetic medicine. It is different, less invasive than a traditional facelift while affecting areas which are not changed during the traditional procedure.
As the name suggests, mid-face lift treatment focuses on the mid-face area, especially cheeks and skin around eyes. Although this procedure was often needed after the middle ages, young patients also prefer to have it. While it cannot be counted as a non-surgical facelift, the scope of cosmetic surgeon's inference is smaller than in traditional facelift. A mid-face lift procedure is sometimes combined with a traditional facelift as well as with other procedures, such as neck lift, to provide a more holistic effect in rejuvenating one’s appearance.
Preparation
Smoking is prohibited for a certain period before the mid-face lift procedure. The same goes for all blood-thinning medicines like aspirin. Doctors make a medical assessment to determine if you can undergo this plastic surgery.
How It Is Performed
There are two main techniques in mid-facelift surgery:
Mid-face lift recovery doesn’t involve a hospital stay. After a mid-face lift procedure, recovery time is generally about one week. Because this procedure is less invasive than a standard facelift. This period will even be shorter when endoscopic mid-facelift techniques are used.
For the first one-two weeks after the mid-face lift, it is recommended to stay at home due to bruising and swelling involved. At the end of this period, patients can return slowly to their everyday lives, including work. The final results of this facial plastic surgery become visible as the swelling decreases within a few weeks after the operation.
Risks
Mid-face lift procedure may relatively be less risky; however, since it includes operating on cheek muscles, it carries certain risks and some potential complications. Apart from risks associated with any plastic or cosmetic surgery using incisions such as excessive swelling and bruising or infection, there is also a possibility for nerve damage and connected to it temporary or permanent numbness.
However, the risk of their occurrence is small in the case of mid-face lift. Still, it is better to consider them while choosing a specialist to perform this plastic surgery.
Side Effects
The most important and common side effects of mid-face lift are bruising, swelling and inflammation. However, as long as they aren’t excessive, it is a normal post-operational occurrence connected with mid-face lift.

Mid-face lift enjoys a high success rate, mostly because it is almost a non-surgical facelift. According to a patient satisfaction study, 89% of the patients believed that they appeared at least 13 years younger than their actual age after their mid-face lift surgeries.

Why Should I Choose a Mid-face Lift?
The mid-face lift helps to improve the appearance of the skin on the cheek and the skin under the eyes. This procedure focuses on a particular area. Therefore, its scope differs from that of a traditional facelift. Additionally, incisions performed in the mid-face lift are much smaller than in the older techniques.

Long waiting times in UK…
Because of long waiting times in UK hospitals due to Covid19, I hit upon the idea of having my bilateral hernia surgery done while on a 2-week holiday in Antalya. After making inquiries through Yasmin, I had a short but comprehensive consultation with an eminent surgeon Prof Alihan Gürkan and my operation was scheduled for a day halfway through my stay in Antalya. It went well with keyhole surgery, I stayed in overnight and was discharged the next day, which gave me 6 days to recover before my flight home to Scotland. Yasmin kept in touch throughout, making sure I had transport to and from the hospital, and a special thanks to Fatma, my mentor and guide at the Memorial Hospital on my day of tests and examinations. I telephoned my surgeon a few days after the operation for advice on removing my plasters and he was most helpful and reassuring about my complete recovery. I was not too fond of the breakfast, but considered it as another form of medicine! My flight home was amazingly comfortable without painkillers, although they were definitely needed for a few days after my operation. In conclusion, I would be happy to have other treatment like this, though in a nice sort of way I hope never to set eyes on the Memorial Hospital again. 🙂
A very positive outcome
A very positive outcome, following my decision to pursue in having dental cosmetic surgery/treatment carried out in Turkey. Excellent advisory skills by Flymedi rep Abud. He was professional, well informed, and followed me up with total attention throughout the whole process. Last but not least, I thank Dr Ahmed Kumsan and his team at Infinity Smiles Dental Clinic for their commitment and professionalism. Highly recommended.
Thank you Flymedi
I was considering several different options, however Abud was by far the most committed and helpful of all the agents I'd been in discussions with. Everything was organised for me and I was guided throughout and if I was feeling apprehensive about anything or had any questions Abud was always on hand to answer my questions and give reassurances. I'm so happy with the results of my operation and I was left overwhelmed by how friendly and supportive everyone was throughout. If you're considering using flymedi then I can honestly say you'll be delighted with the service both before during and after your surgery.
