Targeted Care for Elegant Results 

A mid facelift, also known as a cheek lift, is a surgical procedure designed to address signs of aging in the midface area, including the cheeks and lower eyelids. This procedure focuses on lifting and repositioning the underlying SMAS layer and tightening the skin to restore a more youthful and refreshed appearance. Many individuals choose a mid facelift in Boston over a traditional facelift because it specifically targets the midface region, providing a more targeted and natural-looking rejuvenation.

Is a Mid Facelift Right For Me?

It’s natural to have questions about any procedure. Typically, we’ve found that this procedure might be an excellent solution for you if: 

  • You are seeking to address sagging or drooping cheeks and midface contours.
  • You desire a rejuvenated, youthful appearance in the midface area.
  • You are looking for a procedure that offers natural-looking results with minimal scarring.
  • You want a more refreshed look without undergoing a full traditional facelift.
  • You are in good overall health and have realistic expectations about the procedure's outcome.

What are the Benefits of a Mid Facelift?

We’ve loved sharing the impressive benefits of this procedure. A mid facelift:  

  • Restores youthful fullness to the cheeks and midface area.
  • Improves the definition and contour of the cheeks for a more rejuvenated appearance.
  • Addresses sagging skin and deepening of the nasolabial folds.
  • Provides natural-looking results with minimal scarring.
  • Offers a targeted approach to rejuvenating the midface without needing a full traditional facelift.

Process and Procedure

During a mid facelift procedure at The Spiegel Center in Boston, our team of double board-certified plastic surgeons utilizes advanced techniques to achieve natural and long-lasting results. The procedure typically involves making discreet incisions within the hairline and around the ears to access the underlying tissues. The SMAS layer is then lifted and repositioned to restore volume and contour to the midface, creating a more youthful and refreshed appearance. Excess skin is carefully trimmed, and the incisions are meticulously closed to minimize scarring.

Mid Facelift Recovery

Following your mid facelift procedure at The Spiegel Center, you can expect personalized post-operative care to ensure a smooth and comfortable recovery. You can go home on the same day as your procedure, and our team can arrange for a friendly, helpful nurse to tend to your needs while you rest and relax. We offer cold compresses to minimize swelling and bruising. Also, any discomfort can be managed with pain medications as needed. Most patients experience minimal discomfort after surgery, and a soft compressive dressing is recommended for the next week to reduce swelling and promote optimal healing. Sutures are typically removed after one week, and most patients feel well enough to resume their everyday routines at this point. While vigorous activity should be avoided initially, with time, the incision scars heal into thin, barely noticeable lines hidden within natural skin creases or in the hairline.
