Facial sagging and loss of skin elasticity are natural aging phenomena. However, if the under-eye area sags a lot and the skin on cheekbones and cheeks areas lack elasticity, the overall face may end up looking depressed, and the facial contour line will also not be smooth and clear. If you are stressed by the fact that your face is sagging more and more as the force of gravity is applied over time, you can try to improve it with DA Mid face lifting surgery.

The central facial part occupies the largest area of our face, and thus determines the overall impression and appearance. As aging begins, many symptoms are revealed, and since it is a part that cannot be covered, a certain improvement effect can be expected through plastic surgery.

While facelift surgery is a surgery that improves the overall aging of the face entirely, mid-face lifting surgery is a surgery that specifically improves the sagging starting from the lower eyelid under the eyes to the cheeks. Therefore, mid-face lifting surgery has a combination effect of lower eyelid surgery and thread lifting surgery together.

Existing lower eyelid surgery is a method of selectively improving only the lower part of the eye while removing the fat under the eye and getting rid of the sagging skin through the incisional removal process. While lifting procedures and fillers are effective for improving only the lower cheekbones and nasolabial folds. The mid-face lifting surgery is a method that improves skin sagging from under the eyes to the cheekbones by lifting the deep fat layer (SOOF) and surrounding muscles, overall improvement of the mid-facial area is possible.

SOOF fat is a fat sac located deeper than the muscles under the eyes that cause our appearances to look much older as we become older. It is evenly distributed in the center and side parts under the eyes. When this fat sags, the muscles and skin that support it sag together, and it will continue to droop down, causing severe sagging under the eyes and nasolabial folds.

The surgery is performed by making a minimal incision of the stretched skin along the line under the eyes. After the incision, 3 fixation points will be decided to pull and fixate the fat layers and muscle simultaneously. These fixation points are carefully calculated for the most effective lifting effect and to prevent the recurrence of sagging. As it is a method of lifting the SOOF fat, which is the cause of aging, rather than lifting only the muscles or skin, the overall improvement effect of the mid-facial area can be expected, including sagging under the eyes, and nasolabial folds.

Dr.  Moon Hyung Seok, board-certified plastic surgeon and facial lifting surgery specialist of DA Plastic Surgery Clinic said, “If you pull too much, the appearance can be bumpy and awkward, so the operation should be performed based on the individual diagnosis, taking into account the overall degree of aging, the depth of the fat layer, the amount of fat, and the degree of muscle sagging. Therefore, a successful lifting surgery requires a facial lifting specialist with extensive clinical experience in lifting surgery and a hospital with a systematic surgical system to ensure satisfactory and safe results.
