Rhytidectomy

  • Midface Facelift is a medical term used for a surgical procedure that aims to improve the symptoms of aging of the middle third of the face, which includes the collapse of soft tissue located above the cheekbones. The collapse of the structures of the middle third of the face can accentuate the furrows below the lower eyelids (nasoyugal groove) and between the nose and mouth (nasolabial fold), which in turn lead to a tired face. The fall of the soft tissue and loss of muscle tone associated with sagging skin contribute to the loss of the contours of the face and are related to a number of factors including heredity, gravity, environmental conditions, and stress.
  • The facelift of the middle third of the face is to improve the effects of aging in the area of the cheeks, nasolabial, and the furrow nasoyugal, returning to this area its natural contour. Is important to mention that this procedure may be associated with a cervico facial lifting, where the middle third posterior structures of the face, lower third, and the neck area are treated, as well as a forehead lift, where the upper third of the face is also treated.
