With great interest we have read the article by Bagci1 concerning the liquid malar-lift technique: a successful (and proven) way to augment the deep (medial and lateral) and the superficial (medial and middle) cheek fat compartments. As we all know, facial fat atrophy occurs with aging and results, together with fat re-distribution, in the typical aging features of the face. Augmenting the deflated fat compartments will surely, if adequately performed, restore several “youthful” aspects of the face, as shown by the authors. However, volume restoration is not the only aspect of facial rejuvenation: skin texture, facial tissue ptosis, and disturbance of the orbital oval balance are also aspects that can significantly “age” the face and thus ideally should be treated. All aforementioned aspects are known to us and to the authors.
