Minimally invasive procedures that offer reduced downtime are on the rise in aesthetic facial surgery, and it is essential that these newer technologies undergo critical assessment in the hands of well-trained facial plastic surgeons. The combination of lipotransfer and thread-lift represents a new modality to address midfacial aging. Specific technical considerations are provided in this article, and vigorous management of patient expectations is recommended. These techniques have a moderate learning curve without significant morbidities. Despite patient satisfaction, surgeon satisfaction will only be realized as long-term results are better understood.
在面部美容手术中，能减少恢复时间的微创手术正在兴起，至关重要的是，这些新技术要在训练有素的面部整形外科医生手中接受严格评估。脂肪移植和线雕相结合是解决面部中部衰老问题的一种新方法。本文提供了具体的技术考量，并建议大力管理患者的期望。这些技术有适度的学习曲线，且没有明显的并发症。尽管患者满意度较高，但只有更好地了解长期效果，外科医生才能实现满意度。
