Résumé Objectifs Ces trente dernières années les techniques d’imagerie surfacique ont fait des progrès fulgurants. La prise en charge chirurgicale a également fait l’objet de nombreuses évolutions techniques et stratégiques. Afin de mieux cerner les stratégies curatives du vieillissement, les auteurs ont mis en perspectives les données tridimensionnelles acquises à ce jour. Méthode Une revue de la littérature centrée sur l’étude tridimensionnelle du vieillissement du visage a été réalisée. Résultats Grâce à la précision apportée par les nouveaux systèmes d’acquisition surfacique et des cohortes de patient plus conséquentes, notre compréhension des surfaces et des volumes est désormais bien plus précise. La 3D met en lumière tout particulièrement l’impact majeur du vieillissement sur la zone péribuccale qui jusqu’à présent était négligé par rapport aux autres zones faciales. Conclusion Une réflexion technique s’avère nécessaire pour cibler au mieux les techniques qui permettront de corriger les défauts et apporter un résultat naturel pour ces zones anatomiques qui sont fortement impactées par le vieillissement mais peu corrigé en définitive.
