What is the difference between a mid-facelift and a full facelift?
A mid-facelift and a full facelift are both procedures aimed at improving wrinkles and eliminating sagging skin.
However, they differ in the areas they target and the results they deliver.
A mid-facelift (also known as a midface lift) focuses on the central part of the face: the area under the eyes, the front of the cheeks, and the nasolabial folds. It is ideal for those concerned about under-eye wrinkles, sagging cheeks and pronounced nasolabial lines. The skin in these areas is lifted and anchored to the underlying bone (periosteum), and the procedure is often combined with lower blepharoplasty.
A full facelift (or facelifting) addresses the entire face and is the most effective method for correcting significant signs of aging. The incision typically starts in the hairline above the ear, goes along the ear, and ends behind it. In this procedure, not only the skin is lifted, but also the superficial musculoaponeurotic system (SMAS), allowing for a more pronounced and long-lasting rejuvenation effect.
If you're mainly concerned about a specific area — such as the cheeks or nasolabial folds — a mid-facelift may be the best choice. But if you want to rejuvenate your entire face, a full facelift would be the optimal solution.
