    TLDR Newer midface lift techniques are safer, more reliable, and have quicker recovery times.
    In the 2006 document, the authors discuss the evolution of midface rejuvenation techniques, highlighting the shift from traditional methods to more advanced procedures like endoscopic techniques. They emphasize the significance of the midface in achieving a balanced facial aesthetic and note that newer methods, such as the endoscopic midface lift, offer advantages like smaller incisions and a lower risk of alopecia. The authors stress the importance of understanding facial anatomy and proper patient selection for optimal results. They present their own endoscopic technique, which involves a trans-temporal approach and careful dissection to resuspend midfacial tissue, aiming to improve various signs of aging. The senior author, V.C.Q., has performed over 800 cases with a high success rate, low complication rate, and a quick recovery time, suggesting that this technique is safe, reliable, and yields long-term results.
