Objectives: The aim is to provide the audience with tools on the different techniques to resolve the reduction or atrophy of facial fat. The what, when and why of the chosen techniques will be explored. The results of each of the described techniques will be shown.
Introduction: There are different causes that generate central facial fatty atrophy. Some are congenital, such as Binder's syndrome, and others are acquired, such as the consumption of antiretrovirals. This condition affects our patients emotionally and they consult us for a solution. In addition to the causes described above, we must also consider aesthetic causes, where the patient, even if it is not an extreme case, wishes to improve the appearance of the middle third of the face.
Materials / method: Patients treated by me using synthetic injectables, fat fillers and using 3 different types of facial implants.
Results: They will be shown during my presentation.
Conclusion: The middle third of the face is a high-impact area when considering the facial appearance of any individual. It is key to improve it when there is a deficit of fatty tissue, and for that it is important to know all the therapeutic options to achieve it.
