Non-Surgical Mid Face Lift
May 27, 2009
A useful approach for the face is injectable fillers. Fillers are used traditionally in the fold between the mouth and nose- the nasolablial fold. Other areas treated are the areas under the corners of the mouth- marionette lines. Heavy folds need to be evaluated from the perspective of the cheek.As people age, the normally rounded cheek flattens and shifts toward the fold making the fold deeper. If only the fold is injected it can not be totally corrected. A better approach is to rebuild the cheek and lift the fold. Filler can be injected under the zygoma the bone underneath the eye safely. This is a injectable cheek or mid-face lift. Lmitations are the volume necessary and how long the filler lasts. Artefill is well suited for this use because it lasts at least 5 years. The area can be corrected in 2 sessions gradually without the obvious lumpiness of fat transplants or cheek implants. The material is soft , is not prone to bruising ,and does not lump. The look is very natural and peasing and lasts for years.
