Age is the most significant factor contributing to the overall change in the appearance of an individual's facial features over time. This gradual process of structural weakening of the face begins during the third decade and continues to worsen during the remainder of an individual's lifetime. In this article we discuss how the approach to midface rejuvenation has evolved over time owing to our increased understanding of the aging process. In addition, we discuss specific techniques that we employ that have helped us achieve more natural and lasting results.
年龄是导致个体面部特征随时间推移整体外观变化的最重要因素。面部结构逐渐弱化的这一过程始于三十多岁，并在个体的余生中持续恶化。在本文中，我们将探讨由于我们对衰老过程的深入了解，中面部年轻化的方法是如何随着时间的推移而演变的。此外，我们还将讨论我们所采用的一些特定技术，这些技术帮助我们取得了更自然、更持久的效果。
