Midface Implants Surgical and Nonsurgical Alternatives

摘要

The midface has suffered vigorous challenges in terms of rejuvenation techniques. Various alternatives are available for facial skeletal and soft tissue volume enhancement. After a thorough facial analysis, the surgeon must consider the advantages and disadvantages of implant-based volume enhancement in the context of each individual patient to determine the most appropriate option. Computer modeling provides improved methods to assess volumetric changes to augment and restore the facial volume. The multiple planes of dissection offered by the midface allow us to redrape the soft tissues 3-dimensionally and to continue to offer the consistency and longevity with implant-based midface rejuvenation.
