Midface Liftmidface lift
A midface lift is a surgical method in which the sagging lower eyelid and the midface beneath it are dissected from the bone, lifted upward, and fixed in place. It extensively lifts the midface, from the nasolabial folds to the cheeks and under-eye wrinkles.
Improves the midface, including under-eye wrinkles
The midface refers to the area extending from beneath the eyes to the tip of the nose. This is one of the areas where prominent signs of facial aging become visible, including under-eye wrinkles, nasolabial folds, mid-cheek grooves (Indian bands), and sagging cheeks—all of which can contribute to an aged appearance.
If you are looking to address facial aging and improve an overall tired or aged impression more effectively, a midface lift may be an ideal solution. By lifting and repositioning the tissues throughout the midface, the procedure helps restore a smoother, more youthful appearance while creating a natural and harmonious facial contour.
Efficiently improves an aged look and negative impression
NANA’s Midface Lift offers a more efficient approach by addressing multiple areas of midface sagging, including under-eye wrinkles, through a single incision. This allows comprehensive improvement of the midface while minimizing the need for multiple incisions.
Since facial aging progresses as a whole rather than in isolated areas, we recommend addressing these concerns comprehensively whenever possible. By treating the signs of aging together, the procedure can help create a more balanced, harmonious, and naturally rejuvenated appearance.
Midface lift surgical method at NANA Plastic Surgery
The key is to lift the fascia layer, the fundamental cause of facial wrinkles, at the same time; the shape of the fat should also be improved according to each individual's condition.
01
A relatively small incision is made beneath the lower eyelid.
02
Through the incision, the overall tissue, including the fascia layer that causes wrinkles, is pulled back to its original position.
03
The lifted tissue is pulled once more with sutures and firmly fixed, and the position of the fat is corrected as well.
04
The incision beneath the eye is sutured.

Q & A answered by NANA Plastic Surgery
Can the drooping eyelid and the midface be lifted at the same time?
Typically, a lower blepharoplasty is performed to address under-eye wrinkles, while a midface lift is performed separately to correct sagging in the cheeks.
However, facial aging progresses throughout the face rather than in isolated areas. Whenever possible, it is therefore recommended to address these concerns comprehensively. With a midface lift, a relatively small incision beneath the lower eyelid can be used to lift and rejuvenate the broader midface, including the under-eye area and nasolabial folds.
This approach allows multiple signs of midface aging to be addressed through a single, relatively small incision, helping create a more balanced and naturally rejuvenated appearance.
