If you are seeking to improve your facial appearance by restoring it to a natural, youthful, and alert look, do not overlook the important difference that midface improvement can make. When the malar fat pad descends on our faces, it shows up in our midface – the triangular area on each side of the nose. This can translate to a loss of volume, hollow eyes, and a tired, haggard look. When there are multiple procedures that can address similar issues, it can be hard to know which one to choose. These are the times when it is especially important to choose an experienced specialist to aid you in your treatment decisions. A cosmetic surgeon who has extensive midface experience will be able to give you the best results regardless of what treatment method you go with, which is why it’s always much better to seek guidance from an expert rather than choose a procedure based on what you find online and then use a doctor whose specialty lies elsewhere.
Dr. Steinsapir almost always recommends choosing the least invasive option that addresses your needs, which of course is different for everyone. Often patients seeking a midface lift consultation only need Deepfill Restylane treatment, which is a detailed precise technique that requires great skill yet is minimally invasive, offers little to no downtime, and provides great results in the under-eye and midface areas. At other times when the loss of soft tissue or deficiency in bone projection is profound, Dr. Steinsapir recommends midface surgery, which creates dramatic and long-lasting results.
Benefits for Your Whole Face
Many people don’t realize the extent to which their drooping midface and loss of skin elasticity affects their eyes, which are the focal point of the face. The midface descent and sagging skin detract from our eyes significantly, causing hollow undereyes and lower eyelid concerns. Restylane can address the hollow undereyes, but in cases where midface descent is severe, a midface lift is indicated to restore balance. You may be surprised by the facial improvement possible with a midface lift.
Midface Lift or Restylane?
If you and your doctor opt for Restylane filler treatments, you will need to go in for more treatment periodically, perhaps once a year. This is a great solution for those who need treatment but do not have severe issues. You may benefit from a midface lift down the line but only need Restylane right now. This all depends on the individual.
The midface lift is useful for more dramatic concerns by successfully addressing the way the descent of the midface dynamically impacts the rest of the face. A midface lift can correct deficiencies like the undereye hollow and even address wrinkles, taking years off your face and helping you to feel better.
Ultimately, you cannot determine your solution until you seek professional advice and receive an examination to determine your needs.
