Mid-Facelift in Turkey
Designed for patients experiencing sagging or volume loss in the mid-face, a mid facelift lifts the tissues around the cheeks and under-eye area to restore youthful contours, improve cheek definition, and soften deep nasolabial folds without addressing the lower face or neck.
In short: A mid facelift is designed for patients with sagging cheeks, loss of mid-face volume, and deepening nasolabial folds. By lifting and repositioning the tissues of the cheeks, it restores youthful facial contours and enhances cheek definition without addressing the lower face or neck. Prices start from £3,200 and most patients are able to fly home after 5–7 days, subject to their surgeon’s approval.

THE DIFFERENCE
What makes mid facelift different?
A mid facelift is a more targeted facial rejuvenation procedure designed to address sagging cheeks, loss of mid-face volume, and deepening nasolabial folds. Unlike a standard (SMAS) facelift, which lifts and repositions the tissues of the lower face and jawline, a mid facelift focuses specifically on the cheek and under-eye region, restoring youthful contours without significantly altering the neck or lower face.
The differences are straightforward: a mid facelift is ideal for patients whose primary concerns are flattening of the cheeks and early mid-face ageing, often resulting in a shorter recovery and less extensive surgery than a standard SMAS facelift. However, it does not effectively treat jowls, loose skin along the jawline, or neck laxity. For patients with more advanced facial ageing involving the lower face and neck, a standard SMAS facelift is generally the more appropriate option, as it provides more comprehensive rejuvenation while still achieving natural-looking, long-lasting results.
