Mid Face Lift

A midface lift is ideal for patients whose primary aging concerns are centered under the eyes and in the cheeks, rather than the jawline or neck. If hollowing beneath the eyes, flattening of the cheeks, or early nasolabial folds are the main issues, a targeted midface lift can restore support and contour without the scope of a full facelift.

Not everyone needs a full facelift, especially when aging changes are limited to the midface.

If your primary concerns live between the lower eyelids and the corners of the mouth, the EnigmaLift Midface Lift at Clinic 5C precisely targets the cheeks and under-eye area to restore youthful contour, without the scope of a full face and neck procedure.

This scarless, minimally invasive midface lift elevates the portion of the cheek just beneath the eyelid and toward the nasolabial fold, an area that often sinks and deflates with age.

The result is a smoother lid–cheek transition, fuller midface, and refreshed appearance that still looks like you.

Is the Enigma Midface Lift Right for Me?

For patients still evaluating whether surgery is appropriate at all, understanding candidacy is an important first step.

You may be an ideal candidate if aging changes are focused above the mouth and below the eyes, while the jawline and neck remain relatively youthful.

Treating only what needs correction helps you avoid the “overdone” look and prevents imbalanced results.

Common concerns improved with a midface lift:

  • Hollows under the eyes and a sharp lid–cheek junction
  • Sunken or hollow cheeks
  • Nasolabial folds and midface creases
  • Early laxity and fine lines in the central cheek
  • Lost midface definition
  • Lower eyelid support issues related to midface descent

How the EnigmaLift Midface Lift Works

Drawing on advanced techniques learned from leaders across multiple disciplines, Clinic 5C elevates the midface using minimally invasive, hidden access.

By restoring cheek support and volume where it has descended, the lower eyelid and midface regain youthful continuity.

The approach is tailored to your anatomy for refined, natural results.

Why Procedures Are Often Planned Together

Facial aging rarely affects a single structure in isolation. Changes in one area of the face often influence surrounding regions, altering balance, tension, and overall harmony. For this reason, addressing only one feature can sometimes lead to unnatural transitions or visual “pinching” as adjacent areas continue to age or descend.

At Clinic 5C, surgical planning is goal-oriented rather than procedure-driven. Rather than selecting isolated treatments, we evaluate how each part of the face relates to the whole. This approach allows us to recommend combinations of procedures that work together to restore natural proportions, support long-term results, and avoid overcorrection in any one area.

During consultation, recommendations are often grouped into:

  • Essential procedures that address the primary structural concern
  • Complementary procedures that support balance and continuity
  • Optional enhancements that refine results based on individual goals

Not every patient requires every component, but thoughtful combination planning helps ensure results look cohesive, natural, and appropriate over time.

Combine Procedures for Complete Harmony

Your plan is goal-oriented, not procedure-driven. Depending on your anatomy and timeline, Clinic 5C may recommend complementary treatments, such as:
