Expanding Treatment Indications Beyond the Tear Trough Defect: The G-Point Lift Technique to Address the Entire...

Knowledge of the anatomy of the infraorbital region is key to understanding the full extent of clinically visible infraorbital defects and the underlying structures involved to achieve optimal aesthetic results. The authors have developed a more anatomic approach to the infraorbital region, which has led to recognition of a specific anatomic area, defined previously as the aesthetic G-point. Shifting attention away from the tear trough itself and applying a surgical approach to aesthetic medicine can lead to more natural and complete results while at the same time minimizing the risk of undesired side effects and complications.
