What is the Mid-Face Lift?
The Mid-Face Lift is a surgical procedure designed to rejuvenate, firm, and reposition the tissues of the middle third of the face, especially the cheekbone and cheek areas, when there is sagging, drooping, or loss of volume caused by aging and the passage of time.
This technique allows for the elevation of the cheeks, softening of nasolabial folds, and restoring freshness and support to the face, achieving a natural and harmonious result without the need for a full facelift.
Types of mid-face lift
Endoscopic Mid-Face Lift
Performed through small incisions and endoscopic assistance. It allows lifting of the cheekbones and cheeks with a less invasive technique, ideal for mild or moderate sagging.
Classic Surgical Mid-Face Lift
Uses a direct surgical approach to reposition the mid-third tissues. It is indicated when there is greater sagging and a more potent correction is needed.
Combined Mid-Face Lift
It is associated with other procedures (such as blepharoplasty or facelift) to achieve a more complete and harmonious facial rejuvenation.
What does a Mid-Face Lift at IdB involve?
The mid-face lift is performed through small incisions in the temples (within the scalp) or inside the lower eyelid to access the deep structure of the cheeks. Through these accesses, the surgeon vertically lifts the fat pads and tissues that have descended with age, fixing them in a higher position over the cheekbones to soften the nasolabial folds and eliminate the "sagging face" appearance. The process ends with the fixation of these deep tissues using sutures or resorbable devices, achieving the restoration of youthful volume in the center of the face without the need for a full neck lift.
Personalized medical assessment
The assessment will be conducted directly with the surgeon who will perform your procedure, who will analyze your case and define the most appropriate technique. To book the appointment, a prior payment of €80 is required.
Ultrasound Analysis
Optionally, a complementary study can be conducted with advanced technology, with a reliability of 99.99%, which allows for optimized surgical planning and adds an extra level of safety and precision to the procedure. Available for €90.
Preparation for the Intervention
Before the intervention, an exhaustive and fully personalized planning is carried out, medical tests are reviewed, and all necessary instructions are given to ensure the surgery is performed under optimal conditions.
The Intervention
The surgery is performed in approved operating rooms and is carried out by a surgeon with over 30 years of experience in facial surgery.
The Mid-Face Lift specifically targets the cheekbone and cheek area, repositioning the tissues to restore volume, support, and freshness to the mid-third of the face, without altering the natural expression.

What is the price of the mid face lifting?
The indicative price of the Deep Plane Face Lift at the Instituto de Benito starts from €12,000, and it can vary depending on various clinical factors that determine the final cost of the procedure.
Are you suitable for a mid-face lift at IdB?
The mid face lift is indicated for individuals seeking deep, natural, and long-lasting facial rejuvenation when signs of aging can no longer be corrected with non-surgical treatments.
- 01
Moderate or advanced sagging in face and neck
When the skin and deep tissues have lost firmness and support, the Deep Plane Face Lift repositions the internal structures, achieving real and lasting rejuvenation.
- 02
Sagging cheeks and loss of facial contour
If the cheeks have descended and the facial contour has lost definition, this technique lifts and repositions the tissues from their deep plane, restoring the natural shape of the face.
- 03
Pronounced nasolabial folds
By acting in depth, the procedure smooths the grooves more effectively and naturally than a superficial lift or non-surgical aesthetic treatments.
- 04
Desire for a powerful yet natural result
The Deep Plane Face Lift allows for visible rejuvenation without changing your features or expression, avoiding the artificial or "stretched" effect.
- 05
Search for a lasting result
By working on the real support structures of the face, the results are much more stable and long-lasting than with other techniques.
- 06
Good general health condition
It is important to be in good health condition to safely undergo surgery and ensure optimal recovery.

Frequently asked questions about the Mid-Face Lift
What results can I expect?
A visible rejuvenation of cheekbones and cheeks, with a fresher, more rested, and harmonious face. The final result is progressively appreciated and usually consolidates between 2 and 3 months, when the tissues have fully adapted.
Does the Mid-Face Lift hurt a lot?
Discomfort is usually mild or moderate and is effectively controlled with medication and advanced recovery protocols. Most patients resume their social life in 7–10 days.
Will my expression change?
No. The Mid-Face Lift is designed to rejuvenate without altering expression or features, avoiding an artificial look.
What are the risks of the Mid-Face Lift?
The Mid-Face Lift is a safe procedure when performed in specialized centers and by expert surgeons, but like any surgery, it involves potential risks.
At the Instituto de Benito, safety is a priority and all procedures are performed under strict medical and control protocols, minimizing complications.
Most common risks (and generally mild)
- Hematoma or bleeding: accumulation of blood under the skin; may require control or drainage.
- Temporary swelling and discomfort: normal during the first few days; gradually decreases.
- Temporary changes in sensitivity: numbness or increased sensitivity in the cheek area.
- Mild temporary asymmetries: during the healing process.
- Seroma: fluid accumulation that usually resolves spontaneously or with drainage.
Less common risks
- Postoperative infection.
- Delayed healing or opening of stitches.
- Adverse reaction to anesthesia or surgical materials.
- Visible or thickened scars (rare and treatable).
- Temporary alteration of a facial nerve branch (very rare and generally reversible).
How long do the results last?
The results of the Mid-Face Lift are very long-lasting, typically 8 to 12 years or more, depending on skin type, genetics, and lifestyle.
How does it differ from the Deep Plane or full facelift?
The Mid-Face Lift specifically targets the cheekbones and cheeks. It is ideal when aging is concentrated in the mid-third of the face and a full facelift is not necessary.
Can I combine this surgery with other treatments?
Yes. It can be combined with blepharoplasty, facial lipofilling, or other rejuvenation treatments, always under personalized medical evaluation.
What happens if I lose or gain weight afterwards?
Moderate weight changes do not usually significantly alter the result, although maintaining a stable weight helps preserve it better over time.
How long does full recovery take?
Most patients resume their social life in 7–10 days, but the final result consolidates around 6–8 weeks.
