Abstract: 

Background: The demand for facial reanimation has now spread from celebrities to common man. Complete facial rejuvenation refers to not only surgical procedures but also optimization of skin. This is achieved via invasive techniques like blepharoplasty, lateral brow canthopexy and rhytidectomy and other noninvasive techniques like botox, fillers, lasers and deep heat therapy. Objective: The aim of this review was to compare the effectiveness of various invasive and non-invasive techniques for facial rejuvenation in upper third of face. Participants: Patients with clinical presentation of facial aging in upper third of face in the age group of 40-70 years. Results: All the patients were satisfied with minimally invasive procedures as compared to invasive interventions. The success of any facial reanimation technique depends upon the type of technique, severity of the signs of facial aging and patient compliance. Conclusion: The minimally or non invasive techniques for facial rejuvenation including Botox, Fillers, Laser and Deep heat therapy are satisfying modalities with fewer complications and better patient compliance as compared to invasive procedures.
