The Mid Face Lift, also called Cheek Lift, is limited to the middle and lower face. The goal is it to correct existing formation of wrinkles and to tighten the flabby skin particularly within the lower cheek area and along the jaw (called hanging cheeks). Incisions are generally placed inside the fold along the front of the ear and depending upon individual running out upwards behind the ears toward the hair beginning. Depending upon individual situation and necessity the treatment can be limited on the removal of excessive skin and tightening the skin (called Softlift) or however the underlying SMAS hypodermic structure and the musculature are included into the renewal. Latter variant, the so-called SMAS Mid Face Lift leads to a naturally result with substantially increased durability. The eyelids and the folds within the mouth range are not corrected with this method. So far there is still no matured variant of the Mid Face Lift that includes the area of the mouth and nasolabial folds. Rather the Mid Face Lift is usually accomplished together with the Neck Lift or in combination with the Endoscopy which then correct also the above-mentioned areas (lower lids and nasolabial folds) very effectively. The Mid Face Lift operation can be made for two different reasons: Either to prevent the effects of beginning and increasing skin aging by the younger patient, or in order to achieve optically a genuine, proverbial face rejuvenation by the older patient with already fold-rich and flabby skin. In the first case the minimal invasive Endoscopy keeps the priority. An Endoscopic Mid Face Lift can even completely replace the classical Mid Face Lift. By the older patient instead, the SMAS Mid Face Lift, if necessary combined with the Neck Lift or with Endoscopy leads to outstanding results.

 

Eyelid lift

Drooping eyelids and  folds on the forehead often cause a tired, or even an annoyed or an angry expression on the face. Patients often complain about smaller and tired looking eyes and female patients complain about problems with make up.  Usually these early signs of ageing can be recovered either with an eyebrow lift or an eyelid lift or with a combination of both.

Particularly with younger people, the movement of forehead muscles leads to the formation of dynamic wrinkles on the forehead and often to a depression of the skin on the forehead and brow area. With older people the depression sinking of this area is due to the natural aging process. The Forehead Lift brings back an open and fresh appearance to this area and smoothes the folds. The following two alternatives are possible.

Classical and endoscopic forehead lift: With younger patients, whose skin still retains some elasticity, the less invasive procedure of the Endoscopic Forehead Lift is usually indicated. A few small incisions of the endoscope are enough to provide access to the whole area of the forehead. In patients with older, more relaxed skin, the classical 'open' Forehead Lift is more appropriate. The incisions are made along the marginal areas beneath the hair line, and excessive skin is removed.

The endoscopy gives a complete range of new possibilities to the experienced plastic surgeon, consisting of a minimally invasive procedure with optimal natural rejuvenation results, and no visible scar.
