Hello~^^

Today, I’d like to take a moment to introduce a procedure that is unique to our Midline clinic: the “mid-face lifting effective for improving Indian lines.”

Mid-face lifting

Dark circles under the eyes, under-eye fat, and tear trough hollows are often known and sought out through under-eye fat repositioning or under-eye fat grafting.

Among the people who visit us, many have Indian lines in the mid-face in addition to under-eye hollows.

So when I explain the mid-face lifting surgery that can improve Indian lines, most people had simply been living with them because they did not realize that Indian lines could be improved.

Mid-face surgery

First, I’ll explain what the Indian line in the mid-face is and why it occurs.

Indian lines are also called Indian bands, and if you search for Indian band on Google....

Such images appear.

The terms Indian line and Indian band, also called a cheekbone dimple, are not exact medical terms.

In the figure above, the Indian line is described as the midcheek groove, marked with a pink box, caused by the zygomatic ligament.

Among the retaining ligaments, the ligament that starts from the bone and connects to the skin is called a true ligament.

The true ligament that creates the Indian band or Indian line is the zygomatic ligament. Because it connects to the skin, it is also called the zygomatico-cutaneous ligament.

In addition to the midcheek groove mentioned above, midcheek crease and midcheek furrow are also terms that refer to the same area.

Compared with the terms mid-face wrinkle, Indian line, or Indian band, the term cheekbone skin wrinkle would be more appropriate.

However, since Indian band and Indian line are more familiar terms to the general public than cheekbone skin wrinkle, I will use Indian band and Indian line as well.

For those who are concerned because the cheekbone skin wrinkle or Indian band is prominent (before surgery)

These are pre-surgery photos of people who are concerned because their cheekbone skin wrinkles or Indian lines are pronounced.

The first effect of mid-face lifting is a procedure that makes the Indian line in the mid-face look less wrinkled.

True ligaments connect to the skin, and Indian lines appear in people whose ligaments are strongly attached to the skin. So the area where the ligament is attached is separated,

The layer where the retaining ligament that creates the Indian line is cut

and microfat is added into that space so that the ligament is less tightly attached to the skin.

After that, as a second step, slackened cheeks are lifted through a thread lifting procedure to finish the treatment.

The thread placement points may differ for each patient.

I will show before-and-after photos of people who underwent mid-face lifting surgery because they were concerned about Indian lines. Before/after improvement of mid-face Indian lines

Indian line

This is before and after improvement of Indian lines in someone in their 20s.

The blue line indicates the tear trough where darkness is present, and the red line indicates the Indian line in the mid-face.

You may think that because it is an Indian line, this is a wrinkle procedure, so would it apply to someone in their 20s as well? But mid-face lifting is not only for aging; it also applies to people in their 20s who naturally have little volume in the front cheekbone area and well-developed retaining ligaments.

The deeply set Indian lines in the mid-face appear less wrinkled after surgery.

Sometimes, when Indian lines have been present for a long time, pore enlargement and pigmentation may occur.

In such cases, after addressing the underlying cause through mid-face surgery, laser treatment is recommended.

Before/after mid-up lifting surgery

Before and after improvement of Indian lines in someone in their 30s.

When Indian lines are improved, volume comes up in the Indian-line area, which can make the face look less long and the side cheekbones appear less prominent.

And as the Indian line improves, you can also see that the nasolabial folds improve through the lifting effect.

This is the mid-face surgery process that is only possible at Midline.

It is a surgical method that is not available at other hospitals, and if you have any questions, please leave a comment or contact the clinic.

In people in their 40s and 50s, rather than only the mid-face, we sometimes recommend a full face-and-neck lift when there is also sagging in the cheeks, jawline, or neck.

There are also people who are concerned not only about mid-face hollowness but also about front cheekbone volume.

For such people, a procedure to reduce volume further may also be needed.

A patient who had surgery bought us macarons.

They were bought from Cinderella Long Gangnam Main Branch.

To make them look so colorful and delicious....

This also feels like a strength unique to Cinderella Long. It makes me think we need to work harder... Why do I feel that way while looking at macarons... haha

We enjoyed them deliciously with the staff, thank you^^
