ABSTRACT

Volumetric rejuvenation of the periorbital region is based on an analysis of the aesthetics of the attractive youthful eye contrasted with the typical characteristics of aging. Traditional rejuvenation techniques emphasized fat and skin removal leading to “done” appearing results. The incorporation of volume with these techniques based on the specific analysis of volume loss produces more natural appearing true rejuvenation.
