title: The S.O.F.T. Cheek method: an approach to lower eyelid and midface rejuvenation.
abstract: Procedures to rejuvenate the lower eyelids and cheek are amongst the most common aesthetic surgeries performed today. Rejuvenation should be individualized based on the patients concerns, anatomic deformity, and medical condition. A balanced and natural clinical result often requires a combination of techniques designed to address each patient's individual pattern of aging, while maximizing patient safety. We present the S.O.F.T. Cheek method of analysis and treatment, which utilizes well-developed principles and techniques, to consistently maximize clinical results and patient satisfaction.
