Q: Is it true I can have a Mid-Face Lift without leaving visible scars?
A: High cheek bones have always been associated with youth and the maintenance of a youthful face as we age. The problem with ageing in the cheek area is that the tissues underneath the eye slide down with the effects of gravity and facial movement, producing nasolabial folds. These can be improved with injections of non-permanent injectibles; however, there comes a point where simply plumping up will not do the job.
Fortunately, we now have a newer procedure called "Mid-Face Lifting" which is done without leaving evident scars. Small incisions in the mouth and hairline enable us to endoscopically release these droopy tissues to bring them up higher, recreating the fullness of youth in the cheek area.
If a patient has always had a flat cheek, we can add cheek implants using the same manoeuvre.
