Midface lifting is valuable rejuvenative options for many patients and can provide a more youthful and balanced face. This procedure is well suited for the oral and maxillofacial surgeon because of familiarity with the intraoral and temporal surgical approaches, and it does not require any specialized equipment. This procedure has minimal postoperative recovery and a low complication rate. The results of this procedure have remained stable in the author's cohort of patients approaching 2 years. Contraindications include atrophic or minimal malar fat, in which case there is nothing to elevate. The midface lift can be performed as an isolated procedure or as part of multiple facial procedures. The astute surgeon considers midface rejuvenation in all cosmetic cases.
