Mid-Facelift Dallas

Benjamin A. Bassichis, M.D., says the mid facelift in Dallas is a newer trend in plastic surgery that is becoming ever more attractive to patients in their 30s and 40s who may not be ready for full facelift surgery.

The mid-facelift in Dallas and surrounding areas focuses on a triangular area formed between the two corners of the eyes and the corner of the mouth. The surgeon repositions the underlying muscles and fat so that the middle of the face is pulled up but still looks natural, and not "done." The procedure is also ideal to correct the early signs of aging in younger patients and also for older patients with minimal excess skin of the lower face or neck.

According to Dr. Bassichis, who is also a clinical assistant professor at the University of Texas-Southwestern Medical Center, the mid face is an important area because Dallas mid-facelift patients tell him the middle face contains muscles that convey emotion. Thus, a sagging mid face can cause people to think you are sad, unhappy, cross or overworked -- when that's not the case at all.

Cheek Lift Surgery Dallas

A mid-facelift lifts tissues near the cheek up and softens the smile lines while lifting the corners of the mouth. By working on the face's deeper layers through an endoscope, Dr. Bassichis brings the middle of the face up closer to the cheek bones. The procedure is also known as a cheek lift because it repairs sagging cheeks and treats tiredness around the eyes. Plus, thanks to the endoscope, which works under the skin, no scars are visible. Results? A younger, softer and happier appearance.
