Very important in facial rejuvenation is to restore volumes lost in time because facial tissues drooping in a vertical way. So a natural rejuvenation includes restoration of facial volumes. Years ago we used surgical procedures as cheek implants, to be performed under genSeral anesthesia or local with I.V. sedation. Now with new techniques and materials we do not need to do this anymore, except in selected cases.

Prof. Tarallo has been one of the first to point out the concept that we need to consider cheek augmentation as part of restoration of volumes in the face. That’s the reason he performes the operation called “New Lift” ( see chapter ), that through a few centimeters incision along the hairline just with local anesthesia, allows us the repositioning of tissues, giving volume to the cheeks. This is the procedure for patients that want a result stable in time, but we can have great results in all the patients also with new injectables, last generations fillers. Crosslinked Hyaluronic acid, Fat grafting, all riassorbable or a long lasting riassorbable as Radiesse (Hydroxyapatite), used since many years in Plastic and Cranio Facial Surgery. With injectables return to work and social activities is immediate. Prof. Tarallo at the time of consultation will evaluete with patient the right procedure in order to get the most natural result.
