Abstract
The aging midface has long been overlooked in cosmetic surgery. Our understanding of facial aging in terms of 3 dimensions has placed increased importance on volume restoration. Although an "off-label" indication for most fillers in this facial region, volumization of the midface with injectable fillers is usually a safe and straightforward procedure technically. Injectors, nevertheless, need to have an excellent understanding of facial anatomy and the characteristics of the injected products should problems arise.Keywords: Calcium hydroxylapatite; Hyaluronic acid; Midface injectable fillers; Midface volume; Poly-l-lactic acid; Polymethyl methacrylate; Tear trough deformity
