Rejuvenation of the midface is a challenge in facial plastic surgery. To this end,
several techniques have been developed to address the changes seen in the midface
with aging. Specifically, ptosis of the malar fat pad and deepening of the nasolabial
fold contribute to the aesthetic changes that characterize midfacial aging. The history
of modern facelifts and deep-plane facelift techniques to correct the nasolabial fold
are presented.
