Most people today want nips and tucks to look younger and if cosmetic surgery leaves no scars, then even better. Though, there is a lot of talk about scar less cosmetic procedures, not all are as effective. The mid-face lift is a cosmetic procedure that doesn’t leave visible scars.

The mid-face lift is done through a one-inch incision inside the mouth at the upper gum line and in the temple, well behind the hairline. That’s how this cosmetic procedure is without any visible scars.

Mid-face lift repositions the tissues of the cheek in an upward direction. The procedure takes about an hour and is carried out under light anesthesia. You can join back on work within a week after surgery.

The upside of this cosmetic surgery is that it corrects the flat hollow cheek that comes with age and gives it a round, fuller look. The mid-face lift also lifts up the corners of the mouth and improves the look of the lower eyelids.

The downside of a mid-face lift is that it is not for everyone. It also doesn’t correct sagging jowls and neck.
