The middle third of the face – this is the central zone of human aesthetic perception. In this regard, any age-related changes in this area cannot go unnoticed.
For the surgeon correction of the middle third of the face – the task itself is not easy, because it is very important not only to eliminate the signs of aging, but also to achieve the most natural result.
Andrey Kharkov – MD, surgeon of the highest category, full member of the European Academy of Facial Plastic Surgery and the American Association of Plastic Surgeons.
In connection with what age-related changes most often occur in the middle third of the face
A.Kh.: Depending on what kind of lifestyle a person leads, whether he gets enough sleep, whether he has bad habits, certain age-related changes occur.
In this case, intracranial pressure plays an important role, with an increase in which fat in the orbit, which is the bed of the eyeball, prolapses through the circular muscles of the eye.
Facelift: the secrets of a surgical facelift from a professional
Thus, the tissues of the middle zone of the face are constantly subjected to overextension, the degree of which depends on the individual characteristics of the collagen-elastic framework of the patient's face.The condition of the upper and lower eyelids affects the overall aesthetic perception of the face
A.Kh.: It should be understood that the eyes play a huge role in the aesthetic perception of the face. Therefore, the presence of internal, median or external fatty hernias of the lower eyelid can significantly impair the patient's appearance.
The presence of hernias of the lower eyelid is often associated with changes in the lacrimal trough.
We do not remove fatty hernias, because this leads to the appearance of the so-called «hollowing eyes» or sunken eyes. In order to avoid this complication, which is most often associated with the classic facelift technique, we move and fix excess fatty hernias in the area of the lacrimal trough.
What other manifestations of post-facelifting syndrome are there?
А.Kh.: The manifestations of post-facelift syndrome also include an overstretched outer portion of the orbicular muscle of the eye, which forms the zygomatic crescent. The lack of correction of this zone is also a sign of traditional facelift.
In this regard, during a facelift, we fix the outer portion of the orbicular muscle of the eye to the outer edge of the orbit.

You should also be aware of the nasolabial folds, which are often treated with fillers.This leads to tissue weighting and accelerated ptosis. Our task in this case – perform subperiosteal correction of the zygomatic region. Thanks to this, the nasolabial fold is straightened, without increasing its mass.
Uncorrected brow position and lines of lateral tension are also components of post-facelift syndrome.
Lines of lateral tension occur when tissues are not transferred anti-gravity upwards, but backwards.
Modern techniques allow surgeons to prevent or eliminate post-facelift changes, and get the most natural result.
