The midface area significantly impacts the youthfulness of the face. When the cheek area sags, nasolabial folds deepen, or the area under the eyes lacks support, the face can easily appear tired and older than its actual age. The Midface Lift performed by Dr. Huan is based on an assessment of soft tissue, ligaments, and the degree of aging, helping to provide a rejuvenating direction that is suitable, natural, and more harmonious.
Midface Lift via the lower eyelid approach performed by Dr. Huan
The Midface Lift helps comprehensively rejuvenate the area from the lower eyelids to the cheekbones. It not only removes excess skin and fat under the eyes but also supports sagging soft tissue structures in the midface area. Consequently, this method helps improve eye bags, tear troughs, the lower eyelid-cheek transition, nasolabial folds, and sagging cheekbones in a single procedure.
Unlike conventional lower blepharoplasty, the Midface Lift impacts deeper supporting tissues, such as the periosteum and deep supporting ligament system, helping the face look fresher, softer, and more harmonious. This method is developed by Dr. Huan based on the individual facial anatomy of each client, focusing on the balance between the lower eyelids, cheekbones, cheek area, and the face as a whole.

Who is the Midface Lift suitable for?
Not all facial aging conditions are suitable for the same rejuvenation method. Dr. Huan will directly examine and assess the degree of soft tissue sagging, the area under the eyes, nasolabial folds, and the midface structure before providing indications.
People with midface sagging due to weakened lower orbital rim ligaments.
People with loose, sagging, or non-firm cheek areas.
People with deep nasolabial folds due to sagging midface soft tissue.
People with an under-eye area lacking support, making the face look tired.
People wishing to improve the midface area after malar reduction surgery who show signs of soft tissue sagging in the cheekbone area, seeking a softer and more natural direction.
Midface Lift technique by Dr. Huan
The Midface Lift performed by Dr. Huan focuses on lifting the correct layer of sagging tissue. With this method, Dr. Huan performs dissection and lifting of the periosteum, the deep supporting ligament system of the cheekbone area, and the Superficial Muscular Aponeurotic System (SMAS), especially the supporting structures in the midface. Afterward, the soft tissue is repositioned and fixed in an upward and outward direction, helping the cheek area become fuller, the skin smoother, and significantly supporting the improvement of tear troughs and nasolabial folds.
The incision is designed close to the lower eyelid margin, about 2-3 mm from the eyelash base, allowing access to the midface area through a discreet position.
Dr. Huan dissects into the periosteal layer to release adhesion points causing tension and accesses the supporting ligament system.
Cheekbone ligaments and lower eyelid ligaments are lifted, repositioned, and fixed in a direction suitable for each facial structure.
The sub-orbicularis oculi fat (SOOF) is lifted and moved to a suitable position to improve the lower orbital cavity, tear troughs, and midface depression.
In some cases, Dr. Huan may combine SOOF fat with orbital fat to support filling the under-eye hollow area.
For deep nasolabial folds due to soft tissue sagging, the Midface Lift technique in a vertical and outward lifting direction helps the cheek area become fuller and naturally softens the nasolabial folds.
Excess skin in the lower eyelid area is processed according to each condition, avoiding excessive tension to maintain softness for the eye area and the face overall.
