You notice it in photos before you notice it in the mirror: cheeks that used to sit higher, a jawline that softens a little more each year, folds around the nose and mouth that make you look tired even when you're not. This is where the mid facelift, or mid-face rejuvenation, comes in. Unlike a full facelift, it targets the mid face specifically, lifting and repositioning the cheek tissue to restore volume and definition without pulling the entire face tight or erasing your natural expression.

The procedure restores the natural-looking lift that comes from repositioning deeper facial structures over the cheekbones. A mini facelift may serve patients with more localized, earlier signs of aging seeking a lighter alternative. Recovery typically takes one to two weeks, with most patients resuming normal activities within that period. In Turkey, this procedure is performed by facial plastic surgeons in aesthetic surgery clinics who combine precise technique with an eye for natural looking results, with the mid-facelift itself typically costing 2,800 to 4,500 dollars, a fraction of Western European or US prices, and Turquie Santé guides you through every step from consultation to recovery.

Mid-face lift cost in Turkey

Turkey has become a leading destination for facial rejuvenation, not by cutting corners, but by offering the same level of expertise and advanced techniques at a fraction of the price you'd pay in Western Europe or the US. In Istanbul, surgeons tailor each procedure to your unique facial anatomy and aesthetic goals, so the result looks like you, only more refreshed.

Mid Facelift Pricing

Mid facelift alone typically ranges from $2,800 to $5,000, depending on the surgical technique and the extent of correction needed.

Combining Procedures

Many patients choose to combine it with complementary procedures for a more complete result, and it often makes both medical and financial sense to do everything in one session:

  • Eyelid surgery (blepharoplasty)
  • Temporal lift
  • Canthoplasty
  • Forehead lift
  • Skin resurfacing (chemical peel or laser)

Combined procedures typically start from $4,300, with the total depending on how many procedures are added, the surgical time required, and the techniques chosen. A personalized quote after consultation will give you an exact figure for your specific combination.

The mid-face lift: What is it?

What is a Midface Lift?

The midface lift, also known as a cheek lift or mid-face rejuvenation, is an aesthetic procedure designed to correct the sagging of the mid-face caused by aging, prolonged exposure to the sun, smoking, and stress. This procedure focuses on lifting and repositioning the cheek tissue, addressing the area from the lower eyelids to the upper lip, including the cheeks and nasolabial folds, to restore volume and definition. This aesthetic procedure aims to restore fullness and projection to the cheeks, lift and reshape the soft tissues of the cheekbones, and restore a youthful, healthy appearance to the mid-face.

Procedure Details

A midface lift lasts between two and three hours. It is performed under light general anesthesia, with an overnight hospital stay. The results of a midface lift generally last between 7 and 10 years.

Non-Surgical Alternatives

Aesthetic medicine can intervene with this filling treatment, also in synergistic combination, based on hyaluronic acid and calcium hydroxyapatite and/or in association with the use of botulinum toxin. Of course, there are also more invasive strategies involving the use of adipose tissue (lipofilling),which have a longer duration, but the decision on the most optimal solution can only be made after careful medical evaluation and according to the advice of the surgeons.

What is an Endoscopic Midface Lift?

The endoscopic midface lift is a less-invasive surgical facelift procedure that typically uses small, concealed incisions. This uses endoscopic incisions and a stitching technique. An endoscopic mid-face lift is a minimally invasive surgical procedure. It aims to rejuvenate and renew the appearance (facial rejuvenation).

Endoscopic vs. Traditional: Overview

Compared with traditional mid-face lift surgery, these methods often involve smaller incisions and may have a shorter recovery, but still require surgical intervention and anesthesia.

Surgical vs. Endoscopic Procedure

During the traditional facelift, the doctor (facial plastic surgeon) will remove the excess skin and fat and tighten the subjacent facial muscles. However, in the endoscopic facelift technique, the incisions are concealed behind the hairy area of the temple, the postauricular hairline, and behind the cartilage bump in front of the ear. This will give you an improved and long-lasting result.

Midface Lift in Turkey: Specialist reviews

A medio-facial lift, which involves the middle third of the face, is a personalized and delicate surgical procedure that requires in-depth consultation with our highly qualified specialists in Turkey.

Before proceeding, the surgeon performs a thorough clinical examination, assesses the presence of any eye problems, examines the condition of the cheeks, determines the desired degree of elevation, and evaluates the quality of the skin, subcutaneous tissue, bones, and muscles.

In addition, the surgeon carefully assesses the cause of the progressive aesthetic changes in the face and the imperfections that the patient wishes to correct.

This surgical technique can achieve two results: restoring the volume of the zygomatic region and reducing the nasojugal fold, smoothing the nasolabial folds, and enhancing the corners of the mouth.

A standard preoperative examination is performed as needed. A consultation with an anesthesiologist before the procedure is essential. You will need to wash your hair the day before surgery and remove all makeup on the day of surgery. It is important to note that you must not eat or drink anything for six hours before surgery.

What are the advantages and disadvantages of the procedure?

The mid-facelift offers a natural facial refresh, wrinkle removal, and a refreshed appearance. Thus, like the other types of facelift, this intervention has some disadvantages, such as: Pain can be felt during the first few days after surgery and can be relieved by pain medication. Downtime: a period of rest is strongly requested between 1 to 2 weeks after the operation for light daily activities. Swelling and bruising may occur during the first week.

Mid-facial lifting FAQ

Who is considered a good candidate for mid-facelift surgery?

The mid-facelift is particularly well-suited for individuals with sagging in the cheeks, under-eye area, or nasolabial folds, who wish to rejuvenate the midface without undergoing a full facelift. Ideal candidates are typically in their 40s or 50s with early to moderate midface aging and good overall health, though candidacy depends more on the pattern and degree of facial aging than on age alone. Generally, patients should have firm jawline and neck definition without significant lower-face laxity.

Where are the scars located after a mid-facelift?

The scars from a mid-facelift are generally hidden within natural folds or along the hairline at the temples and in front of the ears. Some incisions may be made within the mouth or under the lower eyelids to minimize external scarring. Experienced surgeons carefully place all incisions to ensure they are discreet, minimal, and well-concealed once healed, resulting in a natural and harmonious outcome.

What are the disadvantages of a mid-facelift?

Although the mid-facelift provides targeted rejuvenation of the cheeks and under-eye area, it has certain limitations and drawbacks. It does not address sagging of the jowls, jawline, or neck, making it less suitable for patients with significant aging in the lower face. Additionally, like any surgery, there is a risk of asymmetry. Finally, tightening the deep facial structures is a delicate procedure that requires advanced surgical expertise.

What are the alternatives?

Alternatives to a mid-facelift include:

  • Dermal filler injections to restore volume and smooth wrinkles.
  • Thread lifts to tighten sagging skin and stimulate collagen production.
  • Fat grafting (autologous fat transfer) to restore volume using your own fat.
  • Neck lifts to tighten muscles and remove excess skin, thereby redefining the jawline.

These options offer less invasive ways to rejuvenate the face.
