Male Midface Deep Plane Lift (Mendelson)

Before (left), after (right). Heavy lower lids with fat bags, malar festoons, a deep tear-trough groove and prominent nasolabial folds. The cheek ligaments were released and the deep cheek layer re-suspended upward, softening the groove and the folds while keeping the face masculine and un-pulled.

The operation is built around releasing the tethers, not stretching skin. See the full seven-step walk-through on the Mendelson deep plane lift page. Dr. Khaled Ghalwash, Alexandria.
