What is a non-surgical mid face lift?
The mid face is the area between the lower eyelids and the corners of the mouth. With age, the cheek fat pads lose volume and slide downward, which flattens the cheeks, deepens the smile lines (nasolabial folds) and can create hollows under the eyes. A mid face lift aims to reverse this, restoring a fuller, lifted cheek.
Without surgery, the doctor can lift the cheeks with dissolvable threads such as MINT threads, tighten deeper layers with HIFU or radiofrequency devices, and restore volume with filler or collagen-stimulating injectables. Most people get the most natural result from a combination of lifting and volume, tailored to whether sagging or volume loss is the main issue.
Who is a good candidate?
- Flattened or sagging cheeks
- Deepening smile lines (nasolabial folds)
- Hollowness between the cheek and under-eye
- Early signs of mid-face ageing
- People wanting a lift without surgery
Non-surgical lifting suits mild to moderate changes; very heavy sagging may need a surgical opinion, and the doctor will say so honestly. Treatment should wait during pregnancy or breastfeeding, with a skin infection in the area, or with some bleeding disorders. The doctor will assess your face and may suggest cheek fillers, threads, energy-based lifting or a mix.

Tips for international patients
- Send photos on WhatsApp before your trip so the doctor can outline your mid-face plan.

- Energy-based tightening improves over weeks, so the full result often appears at home.
- Avoid alcohol and blood-thinning supplements a few days before injections or threads.
Frequently asked questions
What does a mid face lift treat?
It lifts and refills the cheeks and softens smile lines and the hollow between cheek and under-eye, which can make the face look fresher.
How long does a non-surgical mid face lift last?
Results typically last six to eighteen months depending on the methods used. Fillers and threads usually last around a year, energy-based results several months.
Does a mid face lift hurt?
Numbing cream or local anaesthetic is used, so most people feel pressure or mild discomfort rather than pain.
What is the downtime after a non-surgical mid face lift?
Usually minimal. Threads or filler may cause mild swelling or bruising for a few days.
Is a thread lift or filler better for sagging cheeks?
Threads reposition sagging tissue, while filler replaces lost volume. Many people benefit from both, as advised by the doctor.
How much does a mid face lift cost in Seoul?
The price depends on the treatments combined, so the doctor confirms it at consultation. See our lifting price list.
