Midface Lift in Seoul, Korea

Restore youthful cheek volume, lift sagging skin, and refresh tired facial contours with a Midface Lift—one of Seoul’s most effective procedures for natural, elegant upper- and mid-face rejuvenation.

What Is a Midface Lift?

A Midface Lift focuses on lifting the central area of the face—the cheeks, under-eye region, and nasolabial folds. Unlike a full facelift that targets the jawline and neck, a midface lift elevates the tissues around the cheekbones, restoring natural volume and softening deep folds for a more lifted, rejuvenated appearance.

This procedure restores the “apple cheek” position that naturally descends with age.

Why Midface Lifts Are Popular in Korea

Korea is known for refined, natural-looking facial surgery, and midface rejuvenation is one of its specialties. Korean surgeons use advanced techniques that reposition deeper tissues rather than pulling the skin surface, resulting in a soft, youthful lift without an overdone or pulled effect.

Patients choose Seoul because of:

• Precision-focused techniques
• Minimal scarring
• Natural cheek contouring
• Enhanced under-eye support
• Faster recovery compared to a full facelift

What a Midface Lift Can Improve

• Sagging cheeks
• Flattened or hollow midface
• Prominent nasolabial folds
• Under-eye hollowness or shadowing
• Drooping cheek fat pads
• Loss of cheek volume and structure
• Early jowling (secondary improvement)

        This procedure is ideal for restoring youthful cheek projection.

Benefits of a Midface Lift

• Lifts the cheek area naturally
• Softens deep smile lines
• Improves under-eye appearance
• Restores midface fullness
• Enhances overall facial harmony
• Long-lasting results
• Faster recovery than a full facelift
• No drastic change to your natural features
