What is a mid-facelift?
A mid-facelift focuses on the area below the eyes to the jaw line -- where gravity takes its toll first. Watch this video featuring cosmetic and reconstructive surgeon Dr. Robert Grant to learn why less can be more when it comes to the mid-lift.

And a little bit of a change or tweak early on with a less expansive kind of facelift operation
can really make a wonderful difference in facial rejuvenation.
Nowadays, as we've learned that less is more in facial plastic surgery, we're doing facelift-type of operations
sooner than women and men experienced a generation ago. Why is this? It seems to make no sense to have more surgery sooner
as opposed to waiting, particularly since we're focusing much more, it seems, on our health and wellness in our younger years than our parents
and their generation did. Well, a lot of this has to do with avoiding the look that is overdone.
And a little bit of a change or tweak early on with a less expensive kind of facelift operation
can really make a wonderful difference in facial rejuvenation without making the person look like they're standing behind a jet plane
and having the jet engine blow their tissues back so that they're pulled way too tight. A mid-facelift is one of these variants
of a lesser kind of facelift. It addresses the tissues of the face below the eyes to the jawline, where gravity first
begins to make its appearance. If your neck contour is good, you don't really need to have the neck lift component of a facelift.
But if there's that little bit of droopiness of the tissues of the cheek, a mid-facelift, mid because it's middle between the forehead and the neck,
really can make a wonderful difference in looking good longer without having to wait for all the excess skin to be pulled down by gravity.
