SUMMARY: Modern stressful lifestyle is one of the many recognized causes leading to accelerated aging in 30 and 40 year olds. Dermal fillers are the forefront of non-invasive cosmetic dermatology. They offer a safe and effective means of aesthetic soft tissue augmenta- tion. Dermal fillers have become a popular and cost- effective option as they offer a youthful and perceivable improvement in the patient’s appearance and there has been a dramatic increase in their popularity during the past 10 years. The synergistic use of fillers with Botu- linum toxin has become the mainstay for those who opt for non-invasive cosmetics procedures. In addition to plastic surgeons and dermatologists, dentists are well equipped with the knowledge of maxillofacial anatomy and surgery. With the proper training; they are capable of handling dermatological procedures in the facial re- gion. In this article, we report 2 cases of facial augmen- tation, the first case was treated with a combination of dermal fillers and Botulinum toxin and the second case was treated with a modified approach on a conventional 8 point face lift using dermal fillers.
 
KEY WORDS: Fillers, Aging, Botulinum toxin, non- surgical cosmetics, Aesthetic, Facial Rejuvenation, youth
