The most assured permanent method of midface augmentation is with the use of implants. Whether standard ePTFE paranasal implants will work and a custom midface implant design should be used depends on the accuracy of correction desired.

For the past almost 50 years I have told my patients to bring profile head photos (not smiling) of noses THEY like and any special areas of concern like lips or cheeks etc. That way the patients get a similar result of what THEY like!
