“In facial rejuvenation I aim for a rested, not a 'pulled' look; by tightening the tissues in the right direction and in balance, I provide a natural result that looks like your own face.”
An endoscopic midface lift raises the sagging cheek (malar) fat pad, softens deepening nasolabial folds and restores a youthful, full cheek line. It is performed through small hidden incisions with an endoscope.
What Is an Endoscopic Midface Lift and Who Is It For?
It is for people with age-related midface/cheek sagging, flattened cheekbones, deep nasolabial folds, a hollow at the lid-cheek junction and a tired look. It is most common in candidates aged 35–55 whose lower face has not yet sagged significantly.
Whereas a classic facelift focuses more on the lower face and jowls, a midface lift raises cheek volume and position. It is planned alone or with other procedures as needed.
Softening nasolabial folds, improving the lid-cheek transition
General anaesthesia or sedation; endoscopic, small hidden incisions
Scar hidden in the temple hairline/inside the mouth
Procedure and Recovery
It is performed endoscopically under general anaesthesia or sedation. There is swelling and mild bruising in the first days; support tape is used. Swelling settles noticeably in 2–3 weeks and return to social life is at 1–2 weeks.
Istanbul stands out in aesthetic-surgery tourism with experienced plastic surgeons, accredited operating theatres and affordable pricing. All surgery is performed by Op. Dr. Selman Taşkın.
A midface lift raises the cheek/malar region and softens the nasolabial fold; a classic facelift focuses more on the lower face, jawline and jowls. They are planned alone or together as needed.
Because the incisions are in the temple hairline and inside the mouth where needed, there is no external scar; it fades further over time.
It is usually done under general anaesthesia or sedation; your surgeon recommends the right option depending on scope.
Support is advised the first week; return to social life is at 1–2 weeks. Swelling subsides noticeably in 2–3 weeks.
Results last for many years; however, because ageing continues, natural changes can occur over time.
In suitable cases it is planned with eyelid surgery, a brow lift or fat transfer for comprehensive rejuvenation.
The improvement in the cheek line is noticed early, but it can take 1–3 months for swelling to resolve and the tissue to settle.
You feel no pain during the procedure thanks to anaesthesia; post-operative tightness and mild soreness are easily controlled with painkillers.
Rarely, prolonged swelling, temporary sensory change, asymmetry and nerve weakness are possible. The endoscopic technique and an experienced team reduce the risks.
Scope, added procedures (eyes/brow/fat transfer), anaesthesia and hospital time determine the cost. Send facial photos for a transparent, all-inclusive quote.
