Abstract

The discipline of oculoplastic surgery has evolved dramatically over the past 10–15 years. An increased understanding of the mechanism of facial aging has necessitated an extension of surgery beyond the confines of the upper face, in order to achieve the most anatomic and harmonious facial restoration. Facial aging represents a continuum that defies segregation by arbitrary boundaries, flowing seamlessly without respect for artificial division and constructs. For many oculoplastic surgeons, the surgical alternatives for restoration of the lower face and neck are less familiar than those for upper and midfacial aging.
