Mid Facelift in Naples, FL

Patients in the Naples area have the rare and exclusive option of mid-facelift surgery when their needs or concerns are applicable to this specific surgical procedure. The mid-facelift is a variation of a traditional full facelift that targets the midface, or the region between the eyes and the mouth. It is common for the fat and facial muscles to descend with age before many other areas of the face. In addition, the increasing lack of volume in the midface can contribute to wrinkles and creases like the nasolabial folds.

What Is an Endoscopic Mid-Facelift?

The endoscopic mid-facelift, offered by board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Mark Prysi, restores displaced fat and modifies facial tissue to produce a more youthful-looking facial appearance. Dr. Prysi prides himself on using innovative techniques and technology to provide natural, beautiful results to his patients throughout Southwest Florida.

What Can Be Combined with Endoscopic Mid Facelift?

One of the advantages of an endoscopic mid facelift surgery is its versatility. It can be safely combined with other facial plastic surgery procedures to enhance overall youthful beauty and facial balance. Depending on your concerns, Dr. Prysi may recommend combining your mid facelift with procedures, such as:

Endoscopic Mid Facelift and Eyelid Surgery

Pairing an endoscopic mid facelift with eyelid surgery can rejuvenate both the cheeks and the eye area simultaneously. This combination is ideal for patients with droopy upper eyelids, puffy lower eyelids, or hollow under-eye regions.

Endoscopic Mid Facelift and Chin Surgery

When performing an endoscopic mid facelift procedure, chin surgery can further improve facial balance. This may involve reshaping or augmenting the chin to complement the lifted midface, helping to refine the jawline and reduce the appearance of marionette lines.

Endoscopic Mid Facelift and Nose Surgery

Correcting the nose while lifting the midface ensures that the facial tissues are in youthful positions, enhancing overall symmetry and proportion. This combination addresses multiple deep folds, smile lines, or volume loss concerns at once.

Endoscopic Mid Facelift and Ear Surgery

Ear surgery (otoplasty) can be combined with a mid facelift to refine the appearance of prominent or asymmetrical ears while lifting the cheeks and midface. The use of small incisions ensures minimally invasive access to the facial anatomy.

Endoscopic Mid Facelift and Neck Lift

For patients experiencing sagging skin along the jawline or vertical bands in the neck, combining an endoscopic mid facelift with a neck lift can restore youthful volume and improve facial contour in a vertical direction. This surgical procedure addresses jowls and lower facial sagging while providing a cohesive, natural-looking result.

Am I a Candidate for Mid-Facelift?

If you wish to address early signs of aging in the mid-face area, a mid-facelift may be able to benefit you. You may be a candidate for a mid-facelift if you have one or more of the following concerns:

  • Sallow or hollow-looking undereye area
  • Sagging of your cheeks
  • Lines around your nose or mouth
  • Marionette lines (vertical lines running from the outer corners of your mouth to your chin)
  • Nasolabial folds

Is an Endoscopic Mid Facelift Right for Me?

If you’re considering mid-facelift surgery or other facial surgical procedures, such as endoscopic composite facelift, you should be healthy with no medical conditions that could impair your healing or increase your surgical risk. It’s important that you have concrete, reasonable expectations and goals of the mid facelift procedure. Dr. Prysi will discuss your goals and expectations during a surgical consultation at his Naples, FL practice.

I pride myself on providing patients with the most natural-looking surgical results possible.”

- Mark S. Prysi

Before Your Mid-Facelift Procedure

Preparing for an endoscopic mid facelift surgery begins with a consultation with a board-certified plastic surgeon. During this appointment, Dr. Prysi will assess your facial anatomy, discuss your realistic expectations, and determine if you are a good candidate for a mid facelift procedure.

Prior to surgery, patients are advised to avoid certain medications, maintain good health, and arrange for assistance during the recovery process. General anesthesia is typically used during the procedure to ensure patient comfort.

During Your Mid-Facelift Procedure

A mid-facelift is a minimally-invasive procedure that takes up to four hours. Anesthesia and sedation medications are administered to help you sleep comfortably during surgery. To begin, Dr. Prysi makes small incisions in your hairline. Through the incisions, he lifts any sagging cheek tissue (malar fat pad) to give your cheekbones a more youthful contour and smooth any lines around your mouth. When Dr. Prysi is finished modifying the tissues and fat, he closes the incisions with sutures.

In some cases, the mid-facelift procedure is combined with eyelid surgery (blepharoplasty) to rejuvenate saggy, droopy, or puffy upper and lower eyelids, or a brow lift to elevate the brows to provide a more youthful appearance A neck lift is also commonly recommended for people who have issues with jowls around the jawline or bands running vertically from the base of the neck to the chin. Any and all of these cosmetic procedures can help revitalize a youthful appearance and facial contour from every angle.

After Your Mid-Facelift Procedure

Because an endoscopic mid-facelift procedure is less invasive than a full facelift surgery, it does not require as much recovery time. It is not uncommon for mid-facelift surgery to cause temporary swelling, bruising, and numbness, but these side effects will disappear over time. Any discomfort can be controlled with prescription medication. It’s best to get ample rest and relaxation during your recovery and to avoid any strenuous activity or heavy lifting. Elevating your head when lying down and applying cold compresses to the treated area can help to reduce swelling.

Dr. Prysi will schedule several follow-up appointments with you to check your healing progress and assess your sutures at his Naples, FL office. He will also advise when it is safe for you to return to work, exercise, and your normal routine. Results from this cosmetic procedure can last up to 10 years, depending on each patient’s health and lifestyle.
