Midface Lift Dubai Cheek Lifting and Repositioning
A midface lift in Dubai, also called a cheek lift or midface cheek lift, repositions descended cheek and central-face tissues to refine the lower-eyelid-to-cheek transition. Dr. Bouraoui Kotti selects the surgical approach according to individual anatomy, tissue descent and whether another facial procedure is combined. Results vary, and consultation is required.
Quick Facts
- Procedure duration
- Depends on individual anatomy, surgical complexity, and clinical assessment.
- Anaesthesia
- General anesthesia or intravenous sedation and local anesthesia
- Hospital stay
- May be either depending upon whether other procedures are being performed at the same time
- Recovery
- Recovery depends on individual anatomy, the procedure performed, and healing response. A personalized post-operative protocol is provided during consultation and follow-up.
- Results
- Outcomes vary per patient and depend on anatomy, procedure scope, and healing response.
Midface Lift and Cheek Lift Procedure Overview and Details
What Is a Midface Lift?
- A cheek lift elevates descended cheek fat pads and supporting tissues rather than simply adding volume.
- Assessment focuses on cheek position, central-face contour and the junction between the lower eyelid and cheek.
- Temporal, lower-eyelid or endoscopic access may be considered according to anatomy and any combined surgery.
- Skin quality, eyelid support, previous surgery, general health and expectations affect suitability. Volume loss without substantial descent may need a different treatment.
- Results and recovery vary with the approach and healing. Risks include asymmetry, prolonged swelling, dry eyes, lower-eyelid malposition and nerve injury.

Midface Lift and Cheek Lift Recovery and Outlook
Midface Cheek Lift and Cheek Lift Surgery
A midface cheek lift elevates descended cheek fat pads and supporting tissues rather than simply adding volume. The surgical plan may use lower-eyelid, temporal, or other carefully selected access depending on anatomy and whether eyelid surgery is combined. A cheek lift is considered when structural descent, deeper folds, or a flattened cheek contour cannot be addressed adequately with skin care or volume treatment alone.
Who May Be a Suitable Candidate?
Assessment may be appropriate when cheek tissue has descended and the central face or lid-cheek junction is the main concern. Skin quality, lower-eyelid support, facial nerve anatomy, previous surgery, general health and expectations all affect suitability. Volume loss without substantial descent may be treated differently, including assessment for facial fat grafting.
How Is a Midface Lift Planned?
The surgeon evaluates the lower eyelids, cheek fat pads, facial skeleton, folds and lower face. Access may be temporal, lower-eyelid, endoscopic or combined with another operation. Technique is selected for the required tissue movement and safe fixation rather than simply for the shortest incision.
Mid Face Lift Before and After Results
Mid face lift before and after assessment focuses on cheek position, the lower-eyelid-to-cheek transition, facial balance, and symmetry. Clinical photographs use consistent lighting and angles so changes can be reviewed responsibly. Results vary with starting anatomy, technique, swelling, and healing; photographs from another patient cannot predict an individual outcome.
Midface Lift Cost and Endoscopic Midface Lift Cost
Midface lift cost depends on the selected technique, surgical complexity, anaesthesia, facility requirements, and whether blepharoplasty or another procedure is combined. The endoscopic midface lift cost can differ because equipment, access, and operating time vary. A personalised examination is required before an accurate plan and fee can be provided.
Can a Mid Face Lift Be Non-Surgical?
A non surgical mid face lift usually refers to fillers, energy-based treatment, or threads. These options may improve volume or offer limited temporary support, but they do not reproduce the structural tissue repositioning of midface lift surgery. Suitability, duration, limitations, and risks should be assessed during a clinical consultation.
Recovery, Risks and Limitations
Swelling, bruising, temporary numbness, tightness and dry-eye symptoms may occur. Risks include bleeding, infection, asymmetry, prolonged swelling, lower-eyelid malposition, visible scars, nerve injury, persistent numbness, hair loss near a temporal incision and revision surgery. Recovery and activity clearance depend on the access and any combined procedure.
