Due to the volume loss and aging in the mid-face area, it is possible to have the soft tissues in the mid-face area sag via gravity and the lower eyelid affects the appearance of the central region of the face. Mid-face includes the nose, eye, and the center of the face. When a line is drawn from the external edges of the eye to below, the specified area is expressed as the midface. Anatomy of the mid-face area varies among people. One of the most important differences is the cheek bone. Thus, it is quite important to perform the operations meticulously by a professional doctor.

Facial lift operation is an aesthetic operation that makes difference more than all the other aesthetic operations. The reason is that it directly changes the face of the person. Facial skin may sag and become deformed due to age, stress, and psychological situations. People being disturbed by these deformations apply for aesthetic procedures. In facial lift operations, different techniques are used according to the level of deformation on the face of the individual. Dr. Çağatay Falcıoğlu decides the most suitable method for every patient and can provide the results desired by the patients. The aim in facial lift operations is to eliminate the wrinkles and cavities around the eye, to correct the sagged facial tissue, and to lift adiposity and sagging on the neck.
