About this study
The utilization of minimally invasive techniques has brought about a transformative shift in the approach to face rejuvenation, potentially representing one of the most notable advancements in facial plastic surgery in recent times. Originally employed to address the presence of fine lines and wrinkles, the application of fillers has now evolved to encompass the remediation of volume depletion and the enhancement of the aging visage.
Over a period of time, the convex shape of the midface region has the potential to undergo a flattening or concave transformation.
