Mid-face lift
The mid-face area is an area from the bottom of the eyes to the tip of the nose. The mid-face area shows signs of aging as follows: lower eyelids wrinkles, loose skin on lower eyelids, indian bands (mid cheek groove), saggy cheeks, and deep nasolabial folds (smile lines). If not treated, these signs may create sad or depressed looks.
Area of improvements for mid face lift
Indian bands may also be caused by genetics. In this case, the most accurate and
long-lasting improvement can only be obtained through mid-face lifting procedure. This is because
the true cause of a genetic indian band is the zygomatic cutaneous ligament which strongly
pulls the muscle and skin on the mid cheek area. Filler or fat graft might even cause
the indian bands to appear deeper as the strong pulling ligament needs to be released
in order to relieve those deep indian bands.
Mid-face lift is a minimally invasive surgical procedure that can improve lower eyelids
wrinkles, indian bands, saggy cheeks, and deep smile lines at the same time by using
endotine. Additionally, if the mid-face is lifted vertically upwards, then, it projects the illusion of
a smaller face. Therefore, this simple surgery also improves facial contour.
Endotine device
Endotine is an FDA certified special device designed for lifting and fixating skin tissue. Endotine devices will be absorbed naturally by the body within 6~12 months and provide long-lasting results.
