The traditional low cheek SMAS flap elevated below the zygomatic arch suffers the drawback that it cannot, by design, exert an effect on tissues of the midface and infraorbital region. Low designs target the lower cheek and jaw only and produce little if any improvement in the upper anterior cheek and midface area. Planning the flap higher, along the superior border of the zygomatic arch, and extending the dissection medially to mobilize midface tissue overcomes this problem and allows a combined, simultaneous lift of the jawline, cheek, and midface with a single unified flap. An improved outcome is obtained, and no separate midface lift procedure is needed.

Introduction: The combination of hyaluronic acid (HA) fillers and polydioxanone (PDO) thread lifting is gaining popularity for mid-face rejuvenation, especially among the Asian population. Despite the common use of these techniques, there is a paucity of long-term studies assessing their combined efficacy and safety. This study aims to evaluate the efficacy and safety of combined HA filler and PDO thread treatment for mid-face rejuvenation over a 24-month period in a Korean population.

Hôpital Privé Sainte Marie, 4 Allée de Saint Jean des Vignes, 71100, Chalon sur Saône, France.
Background: Most facelift techniques have limited effect on the nasolabial fold and the more medial part of the face. The facial rejuvenation enhancing cheek (FRENCH) lift can treat both jowl sagging and midface deflation by a monobloc vertical and oblique displacement of the anterior column of the face through an extended subcutaneous dissection.
Objectives: To explain the surgical technique and to show its efficacy on the nasolabial fold, jawline and infraorbital rim.
