Abstract
Most techniques for lifting the midface involve incisions placed above the midface in order to create a point of fixation. Many surgeons also utilize a “helper” incision below the midface, in the labial sulcus, in order to assist with the dissection. The trans-oral vertical midface lift differs from other midface lifting techniques in that the entire procedure, from dissection to fixation, involves a single approach from the superior labial sulcus.
