As we age, the midface region is often one of the first to show visible signs of aging—sagging cheeks, deepening nasolabial folds, and a fatigued or sad appearance. These effects can occur even in your 30s, or earlier, depending on genetics and lifestyle. At Kalos Facial Plastic Surgery, LLC, based in the heart of Atlanta, GA, we offer expertly performed midface lift surgery tailored to each patient’s unique facial structure, needs, and goals. Led by double board-certified facial plastic surgeon Dr. Benjamin C. Stong, Kalos provides Atlanta-area patients with advanced, proven techniques designed to restore youthful volume and natural contour in the midface. We understand the aesthetic standards and lifestyle expectations of our local community, from Buckhead professionals to Midtown creatives and beyond, and we are committed to helping you look and feel your best.
Dr. Stong did an amazing job. I had an eyebrow lift, eyelids, face and neck lift. It’s only been 3.5 weeks and I am thrilled with the new me already! He is highly qualified and I recommend him without hesitation. He and his office staff are professional, available and eager to make your experience a positive one.
What Is a Midface Lift and How Can It Help?
A midface lift, also called an Endoscopic Midface Lift or Cheek Lift, focuses on the area from the lower eyelid to the upper mouth, including the cheeks. With age, the fat pads and soft tissues in this area begin to descend due to gravity and skin laxity. This results in drooping cheeks, deep nasolabial folds (smile lines), and under-eye hollowing.
Our midface lift technique corrects these changes by:
- Repositioning the malar fat pad higher on the cheekbone
- Softening deep folds around the mouth and nose
- Restoring a youthful, heart-shaped contour to the midface
- Creating a smoother transition between the lower eyelid and cheek
We use a minimally invasive endoscopic approach that avoids visible scarring. Unlike outdated methods that removed fat from the lower eyelid—often creating a hollow look—our approach preserves and repositions fat for a more youthful, balanced result.
Many Atlanta patients opt to combine a midface lift with lower eyelid blepharoplasty or buccal fat contouring for enhanced outcomes. During your consultation, Dr. Stong will walk you through these options and help you determine the best combination for your goals.
