When you start noticing early signs of facial aging, they often appear in your midface, long before you see changes along your jawline or neck. Volume loss in your cheeks, under-eye hollows, and a gradual flattening of your midface can make you look tired even when you feel rested.
At the Stern Center for Aesthetics in Bellevue, WA, Dr. Fredric Stern brings more than 25 years of experience in facial rejuvenation, offering advanced treatments that help you maintain a youthful, natural look.
Why Your Midface Ages First
Your midface contains some of the most delicate fat pads and supportive tissues in your face. As these structures thin or shift over time, your cheeks begin to lose their youthful contour. This can also deepen your under-eye area, create early nasolabial folds, and reduce overall facial brightness. Because these changes happen gradually, you may not realize your midface is the first place aging becomes noticeable.
How Volume Loss Impacts Your Expression
When midface volume decreases, your expression may look more fatigued or drawn. You might notice makeup settling differently, shadows under the eyes, or a less defined cheek structure. These changes are less related to the skin and more to decreased support beneath the surface.
Treatments That Support Midface Rejuvenation
At the Stern Center for Aesthetics, several nonsurgical and minimally invasive options can help restore natural fullness and lift to the midface.
Fat transfer offers long-lasting enhancement using your own living fat cells. This approach provides soft, natural volume to the cheeks and under-eye region. Because the fat integrates with your tissue, results can last for years.
Dermal fillers can offer a more immediate option for subtle cheek contouring or shadow reduction beneath the eyes. Fillers refresh volume and help restore smoothness in areas where hollows are beginning to form.
Halo and MOXI laser treatments support midface rejuvenation by improving skin quality, tone, and texture. These lasers enhance collagen production, helping your skin look firmer and more radiant.
HydraFacial MD can be added to your plan to maintain bright, hydrated skin and improve overall midface vibrancy.
Experience Matters in Midface Enhancement
Dr. Stern’s deep understanding of facial anatomy enables him to assess subtle changes in your midface and recommend treatments that enhance your natural features rather than alter them. His individualized approach ensures results that look refreshed, balanced, and timeless.
