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 recommended?
The modern mid-face facelift is primarily suitable for sagging cheeks, jowls, pronounced nasolabial folds or drooping lower eyelids. This is when cosmetic or minimally invasive treatments such as ultrasound or fillers no longer produce the desired result. Key to a successful procedure: The skin should still have some basic elasticity. In general, the mid facelift is a relatively minor procedure that can achieve long-lasting results over several years.
When is another procedure more suitable?
This method only allows us to intervene selectively. The mid facelift is less suitable for youthful contouring of the chin line (jawline) and for firming the neck. In the case of pronounced sagging and depending on the condition of the skin, we recommend the full facelift, as it includes the entire face and neck. A detailed analysis, ideally with 3D simulation, helps determine the best method. Dr. Schuhmann will be happy to advise you on this.

Customized treatment with natural results
The mid facelift, performed by Dr. Karl Schuhmann, is a meticulously planned aesthetic operation - and one of the most modern surgical methods. The treatment typically begins with a small, very precise incision at the edge of the eyelid, which can extend into the crease at the side of the eye. In the process, sagging structures such as cheek fat and muscles are released, repositioned and fixed without tension.
This technique allows us to lift the cheek structures without visible scars. Unlike previous lifting methods, this method involves the underlying layers of the skin to produce an entirely natural recontouring effect.
The particular strength of this procedure lies in its dual effect: in addition to firming the tissue, we can reduce bags under the eyes and smooth the entire lower eyelid. Dr. Schuhmann incorporates the latest findings in aesthetic surgery into every treatment.
Areas of application
The mid facelift is particularly suitable for age-related changes:
- Correction of pronounced nasolabial folds and drooping corners of the mouth
- Lifting and firming of the cheeks (treatment of jowls)
- Reduction of bags under the eyes
- Lower eyelid lift
- Rejuvenation of the midface

Combination treatments
Depending on the structure, elasticity and resilience of the skin, additional injections with biostimulants such as Sculptra, autologous fat, hyaluronic acid or Botox may be possible. For example, for the eye, forehead or chin area.
Mid facelift with modern composite procedure
The mid-face facelift is usually performed as a composite facelift. The cheek tissue is completely detached and returned to its original position. Access is via fine, barely visible incisions in the eyelid area. When performed professionally, natural facial expressions are not affected.

Frequently asked questions
What is a mid facelift and how is it done?
A midface facelift, often performed as a composite facelift, is a surgical procedure to firm the skin and underlying soft tissue of the midface, the so-called age axis. The deeper layers of the face are lifted and repositioned through minimal incisions at the edges of the eyelids, resulting in an overall rejuvenated appearance.
Is a mid facelift suitable for me?
We recommend a mid facelift if your skin is already showing clear signs of aging - particularly in the midface and lower eyelid area. For example, sunken cheeks, jowls, pronounced nasolabial folds or drooping corners of the mouth. The aesthetic procedure is generally suitable for people who want a naturally refreshed appearance without the need for a complete facelift. The procedure is also suitable for removing bags under the eyes.
What are the advantages of a mid facelift in comparison to other procedures?
Natural appearance without a mask-like effect. Preservation of facial expressions and mobility. Long-lasting results that make the face look fresher and younger. No visible scars as the incisions are discreetly hidden at the edge of the lower eyelid.
How long is the recovery phase?
Recovery time varies, but most patients can resume normal activities within two weeks. Mild swelling and bruising typically improve within the first week.
What are the long-term effects?
The results, such as reduced appearance of wrinkles and improved skin quality, last for many years. Since the natural aging processes continue to counteract the results, refresher treatments are therefore possible and recommended after a few years. The results can also be prolonged and possibly enhanced with the help of combination treatments such as skin boosters, polynucleotides or exosomes. We also recommend a healthy lifestyle and good sun protection. Both are essential for the health and vitality of your skin.
