The mid-face lift addresses the middle of the face and concentrates on the areas around the eyes, to correct prominent nasolabial folds and hollowness in the upper cheeks.  Signs of aging occur in this area due to loss of facial fat.  We have pockets of fat that run horizontally across our face, but as we age, the fat deflates and we start to see vertical folds occurring in our face. Dr. Alessi’s MID-FACE LIFT surgery is designed to improve sagging cheeks as well as the lines running from the nose to the mouth to return a youthful appearance.
