Mid-Facelift

In Providence, Rhode Island

Introduction

Overview of Mid-Facelifts

At Enzer & Associates, PC in Providence Rhode Island, mid-facelift is a procedure we offer for men and women with sagging cheeks, puffy undereye bags, and noticeable lines around their mouths. We are dedicated to providing our patients with the care and natural-looking results they need.

What Is a
Mid-Facelift?

Mid-face lifting, which is also known as a cheek lift, helps to restore youthfulness to the face. The procedure eliminates dark circles and shadows by raising the cheek fat pad, thus smoothing the junction between the lower eyelids and cheek. A mid-facelift can even help lift jowls in the jawline and give the face a more youthful heart shape.

Mid-face lifting is oftentimes combined into one package with lower laser blepharoplasty and eyelid tightening. This same-day outpatient procedure is performed through micro-incisions near the outer corners of the eyes. The recovery time is usually a few weeks and complications are rare.

Am I a Good Candidate for a Mid-Facelift?

Do you have dark circles or bags under your eyes? If so, you should be interested in a mid-face lift. The mid-face is the area from the lower eyelids to the nasolabial folds (the lines from the nose to the corner of the mouth). Over time, gravity and loss of cheek volume can cause the mid-face area to sag, which can create dark circles under the eyes, lines around the mouth, and make you appear older than your true age.

The Expertise of Dr. Enzer

Mid-face lifting is still a relatively new addition to the face-lifting family, having only truly begun around the year 2000. Dr. Enzer developed the multi-vectored, multi-planed (MVP) suspender flap, which he believes to be the safest and most successful means of mid-face lifting. He was invited to present his technique to over seven hundred oculoplastic plastic surgeons in Chicago, October 2005. With over twenty years of experience utilizing this technique, we see that this procedure has very long-lasting success.

Procedures That Complement a Mid-Facelift

Other procedures can also give added benefit to the mid-facelift and are often done at the same time. Laser skin resurfacing can be used to minimize wrinkles and improve the skin’s complexion. Read more about laser resurfacing here.

Lower blepharoplasty can reduce puffiness under the eyes from fat bulges. Read more about eyelid surgery here.

Some patients also benefit from fat transfer or facial fillers to help restore youthful volume to the under-eye and mid-face area. Talk with Dr. Enzer to determine which option is best for you and your aesthetic goals.

Recovering from a Mid-Facelift

While this is approached through the inside of the eyelid and a small incision along one of the crease lines in the outer corner of the eyes, on the inside we are lifting your entire cheek. Therefore, most patients have swelling and bruising for a few weeks. Most patients experience only minor pain that is easily controlled with acetaminophen, or occasionally a few prescription narcotic pain pills.

We suggest that patients to take 2-3 weeks before returning to work and other social activities.

The cost of a Rhode Island mid-facelift will vary based on the techniques used to perform the procedure and whether or not additional procedures are performed at the same time as a mid-facelift. Price and payment options can be discussed during the consultation process.
