[Volume and facial rejuvenation].
The request of care for facial aging has changed. Patients wish more and more a "natural" rejuvenation. The analysis of the different ways of aging shows that it is important to restore the mid-face volumes in order to obtain the fullness of youth. Numerous techniques have been used to increase the central volumes. After an historical study of the different methods, the authors present the new concepts that give a large place to lipostructure as described by Coleman. This technique can be used alone or in association with other techniques (lifting, collagen or other products injections...). The results are motivating; the process is simple and quick. The post-surgical oedemas are often important, but complications are exceptional. All these criteria correspond to current demands linked to aesthetic surgery considering medico-legal pressure. The future is based on the improvement of good grafts defining more precisely the factors of resorption of adipose graft tissues.
