Wangenlifting (Mid-Face Lift) Stuttgart | VMAesthetics
Jugendliche, volle Wangen und definierte Konturen
Einleitung
Das Wangenlifting (Cheek Lift, Mid-Face Lift, Midface-Straffung) ist ein chirurgischer Eingriff zur Verjüngung des mittleren Gesichtsdrittels. Mit zunehmendem Alter erschlaffen die Wangen, rutschen nach unten und verlieren an Volumen. Dies führt zu einem müden, gealterten Aussehen und tiefen Nasolabialfalten.
Das Wangenlifting hebt die abgesunkenen Wangen, strafft die Haut und wiederherstellt jugendliche Konturen. Oft wird es mit Facelift oder Unterlidstraffung kombiniert.
Gründe für ein Wangenlifting
- Abgesunkene, eingefallene Wangen
- Tiefe Nasolabialfalten
- Müder, gealterter Gesichtsausdruck
- Tränensäcke und Augenringe
- Volumenverlust im mittleren Gesicht

Introduction
A Cheek Lift (Mid-Face Lift or Midface Straffung) is a highly specialized surgical procedure designed to rejuvenate the middle third of the face. Over time, due to gravity, bone resorption, and loss of collagen, the malar fat pads descend, causing the cheeks to flatten, sink, and lose their youthful volume. This structural shift creates a tired, aged facial expression, hollow under-eye areas, and deep nasolabial folds.
A surgical Mid-Face Lift gently elevates descended cheek tissue back to its youthful anatomical position, smooths the overlying skin, and restores beautifully defined facial contours. It is very frequently combined with a lower blepharoplasty (eyelid lift) or a full facelift for a seamless, balanced rejuvenation.
Primary Indications for a Mid-Face Lift
- Drooping, hollowed, or descended cheeks
- Deep, pronounced nasolabial folds (smile lines)
- A chronically tired, worn-out facial expression
- Elongated under-eye hollows or dark circles
- Significant volume depletion in the mid-facial region
Surgical Methods and Techniques
1. Endoscopic Mid-Face Lift
A minimally invasive technique performed through tiny, concealed incisions inside the mouth and/or the temporal hairline, using camera guidance to lift the deep tissue layers. This is the modern clinical standard.
2. Transconjunctival Lower Eyelid Approach
Lifting the cheek through the same incision used for a lower blepharoplasty, allowing the surgeon to address under-eye bags and cheek sagging simultaneously.
3. Hybrid Volume Restructuring
Combining the surgical lift with autologous fat transfer (lipofilling) to restore beautiful volume alongside structural lifting.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Typically men and women aged 40 to 60 experiencing descended cheeks and deep smile lines but who do not yet require a full lower facelift.
Absolutely. It is highly recommended to pair them for comprehensive middle- and lower-face rejuvenation.
Incisions are hidden completely inside the upper lip (mouth mucosa) and/or in the temporal hairline, leaving no visible external scars.
A successful mid-face lift typically turns back the clock by 8 to 12 years, depending on your lifestyle and genetics.
Starting from 4,200 €*, depending on the surgical scope, combination procedures, and anesthesia.
Dermal fillers (temporary volume) or thread lifting (moderate, temporary lift), whereas a surgical lift offers the only permanent structural correction.
