Aesthetic and Plastic Surgery Specialist Op. Dr. Ufuk Askeroğlu explains the causes of midface sagging, a problem that women often encounter in later periods, in detail.
Midface sagging is a condition that usually occurs during the aging process, but can sometimes be associated with other factors such as genetic factors or trauma. The midface area is the area from under the eyes to the cheeks and significantly affects facial expression.
What are the common causes of midface sagging?
Midface sagging can lead to deepening wrinkles around the eyes and under-eye bags becoming more visible. This can create a tired and old appearance. Sagging tissues in the midface area can cause the cheekbones to droop. This can lead to loss of facial features and a general decrease in facial fullness.
Midface sagging can cause the oval of the face to change. A significant sagging occurs especially in the cheeks and jawline, which affects the general contour of the face. Midface drooping can cause the lips to lose their fullness and fine lines to appear around the lips. This can cause a loss of a youthful and lively appearance. Drooping in the midface can cause asymmetry in the face. This can create a feeling of imbalance in the face and affect the person’s self-confidence.
Midface drooping can contribute to the general prominence of signs of aging on the face. This can cause the person to lose their youthful and dynamic appearance. Midface drooping can create a feeling of loss of facial expression. The person may have difficulty expressing their emotions and their facial expression may appear duller or lifeless. Midface drooping can be associated not only with aesthetic concerns but also with psychological effects.
Can the marks of midface drooping be reduced?
Midface drooping is a condition that negatively affects facial expression and is usually associated with the aging process. However, there are various treatment options to correct this condition and achieve a youthful and dynamic appearance.
Filling applications can restore the fullness of the cheekbones and cheeks by filling the volume loss in the midface. This method is often preferred to achieve a more youthful and vibrant appearance. Botox injections can provide a rested and more youthful appearance by relaxing the muscles in the midface area. It can be used especially to reduce wrinkles and lines around the eyes.
Surgery can be an option for those with advanced problems. A facelift is used to correct sagging in the midface area and achieve a younger and tighter appearance. This procedure provides the desired result by tightening the skin that has lost its elasticity and removing excess skin tissue.
Radiofrequency and laser treatments can also help correct midface sagging by tightening and rejuvenating the skin. These methods provide fullness and elasticity by increasing collagen production in the skin. PRP treatment involves injecting platelets obtained from the person’s own blood into the facial skin. This method can contribute to the correction of midface sagging by encouraging skin renewal and rejuvenation. These techniques provide a rejuvenating effect by filling in tissue loss and reshaping facial features.
