Mid Facelift
Please fill the Details
Do you plan on getting a mid facelift anytime soon? If your answer is yes, then you should definitely know more about this particular procedure before going under the knife. Most patients choose this operation in order to improve the appearance of sagging cheeks, as well as deep creases that gradually develop between the cheek and lip area. Due to the latest advancements in the world of cosmetic surgery, this said procedure can successfully be done without leaving that unsightly overstretched look.
So how is it performed?
With the use of sutures, the cheek pads are elevated, leaving a higher cheekbone appearance, as well as smoother creases between the mouth and cheek area. During the procedure, your surgeon will most likely make four small incisions wherein two of them will be made in the scalp, just above your ears. The other two incisions are often made near the crease of a person’s mouth and each is around 1/8th inch in length. There are patients who choose to get the ‘twilight’ anesthesia, which will enable you to remain conscious during the entire surgical procedure.
How long is the recovery time?
People like getting a mid facelift because it has a very short recovery time, 72 hours to be exact. Most patients who have undergone this particular type of procedure were able to get back to their daily routines after 3 days; but of course, you can rest up to a week if necessary. You should also know that this is often done as an outpatient procedure, which means that you won’t have to stay in the hospital for a long period of time when compared to other types of face lifts.
