How does Dr. Steinsapir decide when to recommend noninvasive procedures and when to recommed surgery for the midface?
Generally, midface surgery is significantly more expensive that using facial fillers. When there is a profound deficiency in bone projection or loss of soft tissue due to prior surgery, Dr. Steinsapir favors a surgical approach. Otherwise, the noninvasive methods are preferred even if they only last a year or so before retreatment is necessary.

- How does Dr. Steinsapir decide when to recommend noninvasive procedures and when to recommed surgery for the midface?
- I have consulted other doctors and none of them seem to use a hand-carved implant. Why is Dr. Steinsapir’s approach so different?
- I consult a surgeon who feels that all I need is a fat transfer to my midface and all of the issues will be corrected. Does Dr. Steinsapir offer this approach?
- I broke my cheekbone several years ago. At the time, I had several surgeries to fix the brake. Despite this, repaired cheek has never been right and my eyelid on that side looks pulled down. Can midface surgery help me?
- I have bags in my lower eyelids. I have had several consultation and they seem split between eyelid surgery alone or eyelid surgery with a midface lift. I have never thought of filling the midface with Restylane until seeing Dr. Steinsapir’s website. Why did none of the cosmetic surgeons I have seen recommend this option?
- I had lower eyelid surgery that seemed to hollow out my lower eyelids and change the shape of my eyes. Another surgeon performed a lateral canthoplasty and did some fat transfer to my lower eyelid but the results have never been to my liking. I am wondering if Dr. Steinsapir’s midface surgery can help me?
