As we age, gravity and fat deflation rob us
of facial fullness. One area in which these effects can be seen is the midface area. The midface is the area from the lower
eyelids to the nasolabial folds, which are the lines from the nose to the corner of the mouth. Over time, the midface area
descends and loses volume (flattens). This can make us appear more tired or older than we are.
Round facial contours and midface/cheek projection is the mark of youth
and beauty. A midface lift can beautifully restore the youthful contour and three-dimensional projection to the midface area
that so many patients desire. Fat may also be transferred to the face during a midface lift to maximize contour and projection.
There are several techniques for midface lifting, which technique is best for you is based on a variety of factors including
your current facial structure, previous facial surgeries (if applicable), and your aesthetic goals. Your surgeon will explain
in detail which options are best for you and why. If you are considering facial enhancement, a midface lift may be an excellent
option for you. Note: A Midface Lift does not address the
eyelids or a sagging eyebrow or forehead area. For information about these areas please see BLEPHAROPLASTY
and EYEBROW and FOREHEAD
LIFTING. For information about fat transfer to the face, please see FAT
TRANSFER. BEFORE AND AFTER PHOTOS

Who Should Perform Midface Lift Surgery?
When choosing a surgeon to perform a midface lift, look for a cosmetic and
reconstructive specialist who limits his practice to facial procedures. A specialist will have the experience, expertise and
knowledge of the anatomy of the midface including all surrounding areas, as well as special training in aesthetics and ultra
smooth wound closures for scar minimization. A reconstructive and cosmetic specialist will also take extra time to address
the minute aesthetic details for a natural, non-surgical result. Dr. Shorr has been performing
midface lift surgery for over 25 years. He is an early pioneer in many of the reconstructive and cosmetic eyelid, eyebrow,
forehead and midface surgeries performed today worldwide. He and our surgeons continue to innovate and contribute to the specialty
of cosmetic and reconstructive facial surgery. Call today to schedule your personal consultation! NOTE:
A Midface Lift does not address the eyelids or a sagging eyebrow or forehead area. For information about these areas please
