Abstract:
Midface elevation is an evolving procedure. The current trends toward less manipulation of the midface soft tissues with less visible incisions and use of endoscopic and percutaneous techniques have allowed for the rejuvenation of the facial features of younger patients. The creation of a natural, unoperated, and youthful appearance to the midface are readily accomplished with these newer procedures. For patients with significant facial skin excess, the endoscopic and percutaneous or transblepharoplasty procedures can be combined with a traditional face or neck lift to restore a youthful facial and neck harmony and balance.
