Upper and midfacial rejuvenation in the non-Caucasian face.

The non-Caucasian face has many unique attributes, including skin tone, texture, elasticity, skin thickness, and subcutaneous fat content. These differences may place the patient at increased risk for scarring and pigmentation issues. In this paper, the authors discuss treatment options, surgical and nonsurgical, for rejuvenation of the upper face and midface, including the periorbital region. The selection of the proper treatment must be coupled with a thorough understanding of the age-related changes that occur in the non-Caucasian face to meet and hopefully exceed the patient's expectations.
