title: Concepts in midface reconstruction.
abstract: The midface is a complex area. It is highly visible, and it participates in multiple critical functions of the head and neck. There is a large spectrum of reconstructive options that provide acceptable functional and aesthetic results. An understanding of the complex anatomy and physiology of the area coupled with adherence to basic reconstructive principles will provide consistent positive outcomes.
