Refine Your Facial Contour With a Mid Face Lift in Houston

The midface—the area around the cheeks, eyes, and upper mouth—is often the first to show visible signs of aging. At Texas Facial Plastic Surgery, our team uses advanced mid face lift techniques to lift sagging tissues, reduce hollowing under the eyes, and restore volume to the cheeks for a refreshed, natural look. This targeted procedure is ideal for patients looking to address aging in the center of the face without undergoing a full facelift. Schedule your consultation at Texas FPS today to explore whether a mid face lift in Houston is right for you.

What Is a Mid Face Lift?

A mid face lift, also known as a cheek lift, is a surgical procedure that elevates the soft tissues of the cheeks and lower eyelids to restore youthful volume and reduce sagging.

Unlike a traditional facelift, which focuses more on the jawline and neck, a mid face lift specifically targets the area from the lower eyelids to the corners of the mouth.

By repositioning the fat pads and underlying musculature, this procedure enhances the contours of the cheeks and smooths the under-eye region—often with results that are both subtle and striking.

Mid Face Lift Benefits

This procedure is ideal for patients who want to reverse midface aging while maintaining natural expression. Benefits include:

  • Elevated, fuller cheek contour
  • Smoother under-eye transition
  • Reduction in nasolabial folds
  • More youthful facial proportions
  • Natural-looking, refreshed appearance
  • Long-lasting rejuvenation
  • Minimal scarring with concealed incisions

What to Expect During Your Mid Face Lift Procedure

Your treatment begins with a detailed consultation to evaluate your facial anatomy and desired outcome. On the day of surgery, a mid face lift is performed under general anesthesia or IV sedation. Our surgeons create discreet incisions—often hidden in the hairline or along the lower eyelid crease—to access the deeper tissues.

The cheek fat pads and muscles are gently lifted and secured in a higher position to restore volume and support. In some cases, this procedure is combined with eyelid surgery or facial fat transfer to enhance results. Most patients return home the same day with detailed aftercare instructions and follow-up appointments scheduled for optimal recovery.

What Is Recovery Like After a Mid Face Lift?

You may experience swelling, bruising, and mild discomfort in the first week. Most patients feel comfortable returning to non-strenuous activities within 10 to 14 days. Final results continue to improve over several weeks as the tissues settle and heal.
