Personal approach to the aging lower lid and face

Area of Science:

• Plastic Surgery
• Facial Rejuvenation
• Aesthetic Medicine

Background:

• Aging leads to ptosis and volume loss in the lower lid and midface.
• Patient concerns often involve both structural changes and aesthetic desires.

Purpose of the Study:

• To present a systematic, personalized surgical strategy for lower lid and midface rejuvenation.
• To outline a combination of procedures addressing both structural laxity and volume deficits.

Main Methods:

• Systematic assessment of patient concerns and anatomic findings.
• Integration of tissue suspension, tightening, and volumetric filling/shifting techniques.
• Personalized algorithm development for tailored rejuvenation outcomes.

Main Results:

• Optimal correction is achieved by combining suspension/tightening with volumetric restoration.
• The described approach addresses common age-related changes in the lower lid and midface.
• Individualized treatment plans are crucial for effective rejuvenation.

Conclusions:

• A combined approach of suspension, tightening, and volume restoration offers comprehensive lower lid and midface rejuvenation.
• Future research should focus on improving the efficacy, safety, and longevity of rejuvenation procedures.
• Personalized, age-appropriate surgical algorithms will evolve with advancements in understanding aging and surgical techniques.
