Endoscopic techniques for rejuvenation of the midface.
Esthetic facial rejuvenation has gained widespread acceptance among the general public. As more and younger patients seek facial rejuvenation, surgeons have been searching for improved techniques, providing longer-lasting, natural-appearing results while decreasing peri- and postoperative sequelae. Toward this end, the endoscope was adapted to esthetic facial surgery. The intent of this article is to provide (1) the author's bias to rejuvenation of the midface and (2) an in-depth review in how the endoscope can be useful for selective rejuvenation of the midface.
