Midface sculpting with autologous fat.
There is currently a major paradigm shift from excision-based surgery to strictly volume enhancement. Because there is still no perfect facial filler, development of synthetic facial injectables continue to advance at a remarkable pace. Each type of filler carries a specific characteristic that makes it more suitable for a certain clinical application. The continuing change in facial fillers offers the possibility for volume augmentation procedures with less downtime and without the need for harvesting fat. We predict that volume enhancement will continue to play an increasing role as both a complementary and as a stand-alone procedure in facial rejuvenation.
