Rhinoplasty, Midface & Temporal Lift

This comprehensive facial rejuvenation package combines Rhinoplasty, Midface Lift, and Temporal Lift Surgery in one personalized treatment plan.

The package is designed for patients who would like to improve nasal balance while also addressing descended cheek tissues, reduced midface definition, and sagging around the outer brow and temple area. The goal is to create a refreshed, harmonious appearance while preserving the patient’s natural facial identity.

Procedures Included

Rhinoplasty

Rhinoplasty is performed to improve the size, shape, projection, symmetry, or proportions of the nose. Depending on the patient’s anatomy and goals, treatment may involve refinement of the nasal bridge, tip, nostrils, or overall nasal contour.

When clinically indicated and included in the surgical plan, rhinoplasty may also address structural problems that contribute to impaired nasal breathing. Cosmetic and functional requirements are evaluated separately during consultation.

Rhinoplasty may help improve:

• A prominent nasal bridge or dorsal hump
• A wide, drooping, enlarged, or poorly defined nasal tip
• Nasal asymmetry
• Disproportion between the nose and other facial features
• Wide or uneven nostrils
• Structural breathing concerns when functional correction is included

Midface Lift

A midface lift focuses on the middle third of the face, particularly the cheeks and the area beneath the eyes. The procedure repositions descended cheek tissues to create a smoother and more elevated midface contour.

It may be appropriate for patients experiencing cheek descent, flattening of the upper cheeks, deeper nasolabial folds, or a tired-looking transition between the lower eyelid and cheek. A midface lift is more targeted than a full facelift and does not automatically treat significant jawline or neck sagging.

A midface lift may help improve:

• Descended or flattened cheeks
• Reduced cheek projection
• Deepened folds between the nose and mouth
• A tired or aged-looking midface
• An uneven lower eyelid-to-cheek transition
• Loss of youthful midface definition

Temporal Lift

A temporal lift, also called a lateral brow lift, focuses on the outer eyebrow and temple area. Small incisions are usually placed within or close to the temporal hairline, allowing the surgeon to elevate the outer brow and reposition soft tissues in the temple region.

The procedure may create a more open and refreshed appearance around the outer eyes. It does not necessarily correct central forehead lines, significant upper eyelid skin excess, or medical eyelid drooping.

A temporal lift may help improve:

• Descending outer eyebrows
• Heaviness around the outer eye area
• Loose tissue in the temples
• Reduced lateral brow definition
• A tired or downturned expression

Who May Be a Suitable Candidate?

This combined package may be suitable for adults who:

• Would like to improve the shape or proportions of the nose
• Have descended or flattened cheek tissues
• Experience early to moderate midface aging
• Have sagging around the temples or outer eyebrows
• Are in generally good health
• Have realistic expectations about surgery
• Do not smoke or are prepared to stop before and after treatment
• Can follow postoperative care and travel instructions

Rhinoplasty candidates should also have completed facial growth. Patients with significant nasal breathing problems, previous rhinoplasty, facial trauma, dry eyes, eyelid conditions, hairline concerns, or previous facial surgery may require additional evaluation.

Final suitability is determined after the surgeon reviews the patient’s medical history, facial anatomy, nasal function, photographs, medications, previous procedures, and aesthetic goals.

Personalized Surgical Planning

Because the nose, cheeks, temples, eyebrows, and eyes influence overall facial balance, the procedures must be planned together rather than as isolated treatments.

During consultation, the surgeon may evaluate:

• Nasal shape and internal structure
• Nasal airflow and breathing symptoms
• Facial proportions and profile balance
• Cheek position and midface volume
• Lower eyelid-to-cheek relationship
• Brow position and natural asymmetry
• Temple tissue quality and hairline position
• Skin elasticity and facial bone structure
• Previous surgery, fillers, or facial treatments

The exact techniques and extent of surgery are selected individually. Not every patient requires the same degree of nasal, cheek, or temporal correction.

Typical Package Inclusions

Package inclusions may vary according to the patient’s medical requirements and the clinic’s final quotation. The package may include:

• Preoperative consultation with the surgeon
• Personalized surgical planning
• Rhinoplasty
• Midface lift
• Temporal lift
• Surgeon’s fees
• Anesthesia services
• Operating room and standard facility fees
• Routine preoperative blood tests
• Medications administered during the procedure
• Standard hospital observation or overnight stay when indicated
• Nasal splint, dressings, and postoperative care materials
• Follow-up examinations during the patient’s stay
• Suture or splint removal when appropriate
• Patient coordinator support

Hotel accommodation, airport transfers, interpretation, prescription medication after discharge, additional hospital nights, imaging, specialist consultations, functional nasal surgery, revision surgery, and treatments not specifically listed should be confirmed directly with the medical provider.

Treatment Process

Before surgery, the patient undergoes a detailed medical and facial assessment. Standard laboratory tests and, when necessary, additional examinations may be requested.

The combined procedure is generally performed under general anesthesia, although the final anesthesia plan is determined by the surgeon and anesthesia team. Surgical duration depends on the complexity of the rhinoplasty, the selected lifting techniques, previous procedures, and the patient’s anatomy.

After surgery, the patient is monitored in a recovery area. A nasal splint, facial dressings, or supportive bandaging may be used. Same-day discharge may be possible in selected cases, while an overnight stay may be recommended for others.

Recovery and Aftercare

Temporary swelling, bruising, facial tightness, nasal congestion, tenderness, and numbness are expected during early recovery. Bruising may appear around the nose, cheeks, temples, and under-eye area.

A nasal splint is commonly worn during the first stage of rhinoplasty recovery. Initial brow-lift healing often takes approximately 10 to 14 days, while bruising and swelling after a midface lift can continue improving over several weeks. Rhinoplasty swelling reduces gradually, but final nasal refinement may take up to one year.

Because three procedures are combined, patients should expect a more individualized recovery than they would after a single operation. As a practical planning estimate, approximately two to three weeks may be needed before major work or social commitments, although residual swelling can remain visible for longer.

Patients may be instructed to:

• Keep the head elevated while resting
• Protect the nose from pressure or accidental impact
• Avoid sleeping on the face or side until approved
• Use prescribed medications as directed
• Avoid smoking and alcohol during healing
• Avoid bending, heavy lifting, and strenuous exercise
• Avoid glasses resting directly on the nose when instructed
• Protect incisions from sun exposure
• Attend all scheduled follow-up appointments
• Delay flights and long-distance travel until medically cleared

Recovery varies according to the surgical techniques, extent of correction, healing response, and adherence to postoperative instructions.

Expected Outcome

The combined treatment aims to achieve:

• A more balanced nasal shape
• Improved harmony between the nose and facial profile
• Higher and better-defined cheek contours
• A smoother midface appearance
• A refreshed lower eyelid-to-cheek transition
• Improved position of the outer eyebrows
• A more open appearance around the outer eyes
• Balanced rejuvenation across the central and upper face

Results develop gradually as swelling decreases. The nose may continue refining for up to a year, while the cheek and temporal areas settle over the following weeks and months. Natural aging will continue after surgery, and results vary according to anatomy, skin quality, genetics, lifestyle, and healing capacity.

No specific appearance, level of improvement, facial symmetry, or duration of results can be guaranteed.

Risks and Important Considerations

All surgical procedures involve potential risks. Risks associated with this combined package may include:

• Bleeding or hematoma
• Infection
• Anesthesia-related complications
• Delayed wound healing
• Visible or unfavorable scarring
• Temporary or persistent numbness
• Facial or nasal asymmetry
• Prolonged swelling
• Hair thinning near temporal incisions
• Changes in eyebrow position
• Contour irregularities
• Temporary facial weakness or nerve injury
• Nasal obstruction or breathing changes
• Septal perforation in rare cases
• Unsatisfactory cosmetic results
• The possible need for revision surgery

Rhinoplasty-specific risks can include breathing difficulty, changes in sensation, nasal septal perforation, poor healing, persistent swelling, and the possibility of further surgery.

A temporal lift is not the same as upper eyelid surgery, and a midface lift is not a complete facelift or neck lift. Upper blepharoplasty, lower blepharoplasty, forehead lift, neck lift, fat transfer, septoplasty, turbinate treatment, and other procedures are not included unless specifically stated in the personalized treatment plan.

Patients must provide complete information about medical conditions, allergies, medications, supplements, smoking, alcohol use, previous facial procedures, nasal injuries, and breathing concerns. Blood-thinning medication must not be stopped without authorization from the prescribing physician and surgical team.
