Mid Facelift Procedure at Elyzee Hospital, Abu Dhabi
The mid facelift is a specialized cosmetic procedure focused on rejuvenating the middle third of the face — including the cheeks, lower eyelids, and nasolabial folds. With age, the cheek fat pads descend and create a hollow or tired appearance. The mid facelift restores volume, elevates the tissues, and improves facial contours for a naturally youthful look.
Benefits of the Mid Facelift
- Restores cheek volume: Lifts the underlying tissues and repositions fat pads to achieve fuller, youthful contours.
- Softens nasolabial folds: Reduces deep lines from the nose to the upper lip, improving facial harmony.
- Rejuvenates lower eyelids: Minimizes under-eye hollowing and bags by tightening and repositioning tissue.
- Natural-looking results: Enhances facial appearance without altering natural expressions.
Who Is a Good Candidate?
The ideal candidate experiences sagging cheeks, under-eye bags or hollowing, and prominent nasolabial folds. Suitable candidates are in good health, have realistic expectations, and do not smoke or agree to stop smoking before surgery. A consultation at Elyzee Hospital helps determine eligibility.
Consultation and Preparation
During the consultation, the surgeon evaluates facial structure, skin elasticity, and treatment goals. Patients receive pre-surgery instructions such as pausing certain medications and preparing for recovery at home.
What Happens During the Procedure
- Performed under general anesthesia or IV sedation.
- Small incisions are made in the hairline, temple, or inside the mouth.
- Fat pads are lifted, muscles are tightened, and excess skin is refined.
- Incisions are closed carefully to ensure minimal visibility.
Recovery Process
Temporary swelling or bruising is expected and managed with medication and cold compresses. The surgeon provides aftercare instructions including incision care, activity restrictions, and follow-up schedule. Allow enough time for healing to secure the best outcome.
Final Result
As swelling fades and tissues settle, results become visible. Patients notice lifted cheeks, smoother folds, and a refreshed eye area. With proper care and a healthy lifestyle, results last for several years.
Conclusion
The mid facelift at Elyzee Hospital offers a targeted solution for facial rejuvenation, restoring volume and enhancing cheek and under-eye aesthetics. A consultation with our board-certified surgeons ensures a personalized plan tailored to individual goals.
