Midface Lift
Midface rejuvenation typically centers around volume restoration and can be achieved with a combination of surgical and non-surgical approaches.
BEFORE
Midface Lift
Dr. Mancini approaches midface rejuvenation on an individualized patient basis with goals typically revolving around volume restoration. This can involve surgical midface lifting through a hidden incision on the back surface of the lower eyelid often in combination with volume restoration via fat grafting. Non-surgical volume restoration with in-office fillers is also a consideration in some patients.

Example : 43yo female before and after Cheek and Nasolabial Fold Filler and Botox
Patient Summary
At 43, this patient wanted to restore volume and smooth fine lines for a more youthful, refreshed look. She received cheek and nasolabial fold filler along with Botox to enhance facial contours and soften expression lines. The result is a natural rejuvenation that highlights her features while preserving her unique expression.

MIDFACE LIFT
Functional & Aesthetic Benefits
Lifts sagging cheeks and soft tissues that have descended with age
Restores youthful midface volume without overfilling or distorting the natural contour
Softens nasolabial folds (smile lines) and improves the transition between the lower eyelid and cheek
Enhances facial balance and definition, particularly in the cheekbones and under-eye area
Who Should Consider Midface Lift?
A midface lift is ideal for patients who have experienced volume loss and descent of the cheek fat pads, often visible as a flattening of the cheeks, deepening of the smile lines, or an elongated lower eyelid. These changes can occur as early as the 40s and become more pronounced over time.
​
This procedure may be recommended as a stand-alone treatment or combined with lower blepharoplasty for patients with a hollowed or tired appearance beneath the eyes. Ideal candidates are in good health, have realistic expectations, and seek to restore facial support without the use of excessive fillers or full-face lifting procedures.
​
During consultation, Dr. Mancini carefully evaluates facial structure, skin elasticity, and soft tissue volume to determine whether a midface lift—or a customized combination approach—is most appropriate.
