TI  - Augmentation of the cheeks, chin and pre-jowl sulcus, and nasolabial folds.
PG  - 67-78
AB  - The demand for augmentation of central and lower facial features continues to 
      increase. There are several safe and effective materials available for this 
      purpose, and techniques have become highly refined. The relative strengths and 
      weaknesses of silicone, expanded polytetrafluoroethylene (ePTFE), high-density 
      polyethylene (HDPE), and merseline mesh are discussed for augmentation of the 
      chin/pre-jowl sulcus and cheek. Materials for augmentation of the nasolabial 
      folds (NLF) are also discussed. There are various forms of solid ePTFE that have 
      been developed for soft tissue augmentation. These are particularly well suited 
      for the NLF. Techniques for facial skeletal and soft tissue augmentation are 
      presented.
