Mid facelift in Düsseldorf
Auf dieser Seite
The mid
facelift
, also known as the midface facelift, is a specialised form of facelift that focuses on treating sagging jowls and correcting the midface. This method is characterised by discrete, linear scars that are concealed within the lower eyelid area. The fine incisions are hidden within the eyelid crease.
When is the mid facelift appropriate?
The modern mid facelift is primarily suited to patients with sagging cheeks, pronounced nasolabial folds, or lax lower eyelids, where less invasive approaches such as energy-based treatments (e.g. HIFU) or conservative methods no longer achieve the desired effect. Skin elasticity is often still reasonably intact, meaning that through targeted tightening of the deeper tissue and skin, long-lasting results of several years are achievable.
When is a different approach more appropriate?
The mid
facelift
is less suitable for patients who desire marked
jawline contouring
or neck tightening. In such cases, the entire face including the neck has lost firmness, and patients often benefit more from a
full facelift
or
deep plane facelift
as the method of choice.
Dr. Schuhmann
will be happy to advise you on this.

Mid facelift using the modern composite technique
The midface facelift is typically performed as a composite procedure. In this approach, all tissue of the midface is mobilised – meaning the skin, musculature, and fatty tissue are lifted together. Access is usually gained via a minimally visible incision at the eyelid. This technique allows sagging cheeks to be lifted and deep nasolabial folds to be smoothed, without compromising natural facial expressions. Facial mobility remains entirely unaffected.

Frequently asked questions
What is a midface facelift and how does it work?
A midface facelift, also referred to as a composite facelift, is a surgical procedure aimed at tightening the skin and soft tissue of the mid facial region. Through minimal incisions at the eyelids, the deeper layers of the face are lifted and repositioned to achieve a rejuvenated appearance.
Who is the midface facelift suitable for?
The midface facelift is suited to individuals who show clear signs of ageing in the mid facial area and around the lower eyelids – such as hollowed cheeks, sagging jowls, pronounced nasolabial folds, or downturned corners of the mouth – and who wish for a natural refreshment without undergoing a full facelift.
What are the advantages of the mid facelift compared with other procedures?
The advantages of the mid facelift include: - A natural appearance without a mask-like effect - Preservation of natural facial movements and expressions - Long-lasting results that offer a fresher and more youthful look - Discreet scarring, as the incisions are concealed at the lash line
How long is the recovery period?
Most patients are able to resume their normal activities within two weeks. Mild swelling and bruising typically subside within the first week.
What are the long-term effects?
The long-term effects of a mid facelift, including the reduction of wrinkles and improvement of skin quality, can last for many years. It is important to understand, however, that the natural ageing process continues. Complementary treatments such as skin boosters, polynucleotides, or exosomes can extend the results. A healthy lifestyle and sun protection are equally important in maintaining the outcome.
