Rejuvenation of the midface

Area of Science:

• Plastic Surgery
• Aesthetic Medicine
• Facial Anatomy

Background:

• Mid-face aging presents unique challenges in aesthetic surgery.
• Deepening nasolabial folds and tear trough deformities are common signs of mid-face aging.

Purpose of the Study:

• To review current mid-face rejuvenation techniques.
• To provide an in-depth examination of two effective methods: SMAS division mid-face lift and SOOF lift blepharoplasty.

Main Methods:

• Review of existing literature and surgical techniques for mid-face rejuvenation.
• Detailed analysis of the SMAS division mid-face lift for nasolabial fold correction.
• Detailed analysis of the SOOF lift blepharoplasty for lower lid and tear trough deformity improvement.

Main Results:

• The SMAS division mid-face lift effectively addresses aging associated with deep nasolabial folds.
• The SOOF lift blepharoplasty demonstrates efficacy in improving lower lid aging and tear trough deformities.

Conclusions:

• Enhanced appreciation of available approaches for mid-face rejuvenation.
• SMAS division mid-face lift and SOOF lift blepharoplasty are noteworthy techniques for specific mid-face aging concerns.
