ABSTRACT
INTRODUCTION Aging of the face is influenced by loss of skin elasticity and by atrophy of subcutaneous fat. This results in loss of volume and fullness, which does not allow the skin to drape comfortably over the decreased facial framework, thus creating the illusion of facial sagging and wrinkling. Therefore, the answer to facial rejuvenation is not only skin resurfacing and/or tightening but also volume filling of the atrophied areas. In many cases, microlipoinjection may be the most sensible procedure to reverse some of the signs of aging.
