Mid facelift
During this facelift, the tissue below the eyes and around the cheeks are lifted and tightened. To do that the surgeon will make an incision which will be the same as the full facelift, however, the incision made during this facelift is deeper. By making the incision deep the doctor is able to lift the muscle which would otherwise be left untouched. The surgeon will either use implants or grafted fat to make better contours of the face.
