₩7,000,000, depending on the technique and extent of correction. This specialized procedure targets the middle third of the face—lifting the cheeks, smoothing under-eye hollows, and restoring natural contour without altering your overall facial expression.
Midface Lift Surgery is a surgical facial rejuvenation procedure focused on lifting the central portion of the face, particularly the cheeks and area beneath the eyes. This procedure is designed to correct mid-face sagging, restore youthful cheek positioning, and improve facial balance without over-tightening the skin.
What Is Midface Lift Surgery?
Midface Lift Surgery targets the mid-face region where aging commonly causes downward movement of cheek fat pads and supporting tissues. Rather than tightening surface skin alone, the procedure repositions deeper structures to restore natural cheek elevation and improve overall facial harmony.
Benefits of Midface Lift Surgery
Midface Lift Surgery may provide several aesthetic benefits, including:
- Elevation of sagging cheek tissue

- Improved under-eye to cheek transition
- Long-lasting surgical rejuvenation

Midface Lift Surgery may be suitable for individuals who:
- Have sagging or flattened cheeks
- Notice deepening smile lines due to tissue descent
- Experience mid-face aging rather than lower-face sagging
- Want long-term correction beyond fillers or threads

2–3 hours
🩹 Recovery varies by individual
Midface Lift Surgery vs Cheek Fillers or Thread Lifts
Midface Lift Surgery differs from non-surgical options:
- Corrects structural tissue descent rather than adding volume
- Provides longer-lasting and more stable results
- Improves cheek position, not just fullness
- Requires surgery and recovery time
Non-surgical treatments may be appropriate for early or mild mid-face aging.
Recovery After Midface Lift Surgery
Recovery typically includes:
- Swelling and bruising during the first 1–2 weeks
- Gradual improvement in cheek position
- Return to daily activities as healing progresses
- Continued refinement of results over several months
Recovery timelines depend on surgical technique and individual healing.
How Long Midface Lift Surgery Results Last
Results are generally long-lasting, often maintaining improved mid-face contours for many years. Natural aging continues, but cheek position remains elevated compared to pre-surgery appearance.
Midface Lift Surgery Aftercare Guidelines
After surgery, general recommendations may include:
- Keeping the head elevated during early recovery
- Avoiding strenuous activities for several weeks
- Following incision and wound-care instructions
- Protecting healing areas from sun exposure
