Introduction
Our faces are the most expressive part of our bodies, particularly our midface, which includes the eyes and mouth. When our faces and cheeks begin to sag, we lose our facial contour and develop deep wrinkles and lines, which can give us an unwanted, sad, or tired appearance. If you are experiencing these unwanted facial features, you may be interested in a midface lift at Kassir Plastic Surgery. We can help you address and repair your lost skin elasticity to achieve a more youthful, regenerated appearance.
A midface lift is an advanced, cosmetic surgery that addresses facial volume loss and repositions and lifts sagging skin and underlying tissues in the middle of the face to create a rejuvenated appearance. This is achieved by lifting fat pads in the cheeks to restore the fullness and diminishing contour, smoothing nasolabial folds around the nose and mouth, and correcting the lid-cheek junction. Unlike a traditional facelift, a midface lift does not affect the neck or jowls.
The procedure uses small incisions, typically in the hairline or the mouth, to treat and lift deeper facial tissues and muscles. Tissues are elevated and placed higher to create a more youthful look. A midface lift may use an endoscopic approach for minimal scarring.

The best candidates for a midface lift with Dr. Kassir in New York or New Jersey will have some or more of the following traits:
The absolute first step to receiving a midface lift at Kassir Plastic Surgery in Manhattan, New York, or New Jersey, is to schedule an in-person consultation. During your consultation, you will meet Dr. Kassir, who will ask you to share your aesthetic goals and medical history. He will perform a physical examination of your face and explain in detail what the procedure would entail for you. If you are approved for the procedure, Dr. Kassir will work with you to create a tailored treatment plan and an estimated quote.
It is required for you to have a trusted individual ahead of time who is prepared to take you home after your surgery and stay with you for at least 24 hours.
When you arrive at our office in New York or New Jersey, you’ll check in, put on a provided surgical gown, and head to an operating room. Before the surgery begins, you’ll be given general anesthesia and will be fully asleep. Dr. Kassir will proceed with the surgery, creating incisions, repositioning and lifting the underlying fat pads and muscles, and securing them with fine sutures.
You’ll be given medication to help tolerate the pain after the surgery.
One of the most important parts of receiving a midface lift is following the recovery instructions. Midface lifts have a similar recovery to traditional lifts, but are quicker because less area is treated. You can expect swelling, bruising, soreness, and tenderness for a couple of weeks, so take the provided pain medication as directed. Sleep with your head elevated for the first week, and use cold compresses. You may gradually return to exercise over 2-3 weeks following your surgery. Final results will appear over a few months as long as you follow the instructions.
The cost of a midface lift in New York City and New Jersey will be discussed during your consultation with Dr. Kassir, where you will receive a detailed explanation of the cost and payment plans. The cost of the procedure is influenced by the complexity of the improvements, anesthesia fees, the surgical facility, and the surgeon’s years of experience. Patients who combine their midface lift with one or more procedures will incur higher costs.
