Los Angeles Mid Face Lift Pictures of New Facelift being performed by Top Facial Plastic Surgeon Dr. Vishal Kapoor under Local Anesthesia. Known as the Short Incision Facelift, this Face lift procedure leaves a nearly unnoticeable scar and requires minimal downtime.

The incision for the Mid Face Lift typically starts above or at the hairline at the temples. The incision then extends in a natural line in front of the ear or just inside of the ear cartilage, then continues behind the earlobe and ends in the lower scalp. An additional small incision will be made just under the chin if the chin is being worked on as well. Working through the incisions, Top Facial Plastic Surgeon Dr. Vishal Kapoor will carefully separate the skin from the underlying muscle and fat. He may then trim or liposuction fat from the chin and neck area and tighten the underlying muscle and deeper tissues (SMAS, Platysma). He will then finish the Mid Face Lift by re-draping the skin and trimming any excess. Stitches will be used to secure the layers of tissue, while either stitches or metal clips may be used on the scalp incision.
