With age, the mid-face changes due to a combination of re-modelling of the maxilla and pyriform aperture, volumetric and positional changes of the superficial and deep mid-facial fat pads, and changes in skin tone and texture. It is widely accepted that these changes significantly influence many of the visual changes in the lower face. These may be effectively treated with a variety of injectable techniques to rejuvenate the mid-face. The current literature concerning the pertinent anatomy for mid-facial rejuvenation is therefore discussed within this article.
In recent years, the way we analyse and plan the non-surgical approach to the mid-face has changed dramatically. The focus has shifted away from treating visible lines/folds as they present, and is now centred on treating the age-related changes at the root cause.
