title: The role of fillers in facial implant surgery.
abstract: Alloplastic facial implants and injectable fillers are currently used for facial rejuvenation and augmentation. Their respective roles in augmentation and volume replacement of the chin and midface are discussed. Treatment goals, patient selection, procedures, and patient recovery are detailed. In addition, there is a segment for surgeons presenting a decision algorithm for selecting surgical versus less-invasive or nonsurgical approaches for midface rejuvenation.
