Mid-Facelift Procedure
- Three well-hidden incisions are used. One inside the mouth, to release the tissue from the malar eminence (cheekbone) to allow it to be lifted. A second below each eye, directly under the eyelashes. A third within the temporal hairline, used to fixate the lifted tissue to the deeper fascia.
- Procedure takes about one hour.
- Outpatient procedure using MAC anesthesia in our own AAAHC accredited surgery center.
