Restore the foundation under the eye.
Mid-face descent creates the appearance of under-eye hollows even when fat is intact. Repositioning the cheek soft tissue restores the eye-cheek transition.
What this addresses
- Apparent under-eye hollows from descended cheek tissue
- Visible nasolabial deepening
- Tear trough deformity
- Loss of mid-face support contributing to lower lid concerns
Mid-face lift through endoscopic or transtemporal approach. Tissue is elevated and anchored to deep periosteal points. Often combined with very conservative lower eyelid work for comprehensive periocular rejuvenation.
The Process
Soft-tissue Mapping
Photograph in supine and upright to identify gravity contribution to apparent hollow.
Combined Plan
Often paired with conservative lower lid procedure for total periocular result.
Surgery
Endoscopic mid-face elevation with deep anchoring. Hidden temporal incisions.
Long Settling
Mid-face surgery settles slowly. Final position established at month 3–6.
“Patient-centered care begins with identifying the exact under-eye cause before choosing a method.”
Frequently asked
No — mid-face elevation is invisible to outside observers. Patients are simply mistaken for being well-rested.
Yes, in many cases. We discuss the combination during consultation.
