What is a Midface Lift?
As we age the Midface (the cheek soft tissue pad) drops producing deep nasolabial grooves (grooves between the nose and mouth), and sunken cheeks. The face goes from being heart-shaped with the volume of the cheeks over the cheekbones to being more square-shaped and jowly. Dr. Jacono performs an Endoscopic Midface Lift, or Vertical Face Lift, through the same small incisions in the scalp the size of a drinking straw.
Doctor Jacono’s new “Vertical Facelift” or Mid Face Lift offers an effective alternative to the Traditional Facelift. As one age, gravity causes facial tissues to droop in a vertical direction. This less invasive facelift technique combines repositioning of the orbital and buccal fat pads (deep fat pads in the face) over the cheeks, hollows under the eyes, and smile line areas. It restores a youthful, heart-shaped face. Old face-lifting techniques with larger incisions did not restore the youthful volume in the arc of the eyes and the cheeks.
He calls his techniques the ScarFree Face Lift™. There are few plastic surgeons who can perform this operation through this approach, without incisions on the face that can potentially be visible
Doctor Jacono is an expert in Endoscopic Midface lifting. He lectures all over the country on his techniques and publishes extensively on mid-facelift surgery (Click Here to See his Publications).
What to Expect During Your Midface Consultation
During your consultation Doctor Jacono will perform a thorough examination of your face, taking into consideration all factors. He analyzes your skin type and how the upper, middle, and lower parts of your face, as well as your eyes, may contribute to your aging appearance. After this, Doctor Jacono uses digital photography and computer imaging software to simulate how you will look after surgery.
Prior to surgery all patients receive a complete physical examination and are started on vitamin supplementation and homeopathic therapies to enhance healing after surgery. Research has shown that surgical results are improved when these regimens are part of your surgical treatment.
