“…However, satisfactory outcomes were not achieved, and several postoperative problems were reported with regard to these methods. 7,[14][15][16][17] In the case of fat grafting, the injected material tends to leak to the surroundings as the surgical site moves. Therefore, there is a problem in the stability of the long-term effect of surgery.…”

Background: Although Le Fort type II, prosthesis detainment, and orthodontic treatment are considered for the management of midface retraction, they may be limited by their high cost, infection risk, and excessive amount of tooth movement. Therefore, the Point A-Koji method was devised as a novel treatment in patients with midface retraction. Methods: This is a case report of a 26-year-old woman who presented with a feeling of depressed midface and protrusion of the mouth. Preoperatively, the position of the lip and line connecting the nasal apex and mental muscles (E-line) were normal, but the subnasale was located posteriorly. The patient had a narrow nasolabial angle of 74 degrees and the subnasale-Pog' to the upper lip of 6.5 mm. After insertion of a metallic-plate implant under the periosteum, the plate was screwed and fixed to the bone. The Point A-Koji method was used for treatment in this patient. This is characterized by the A-point anterior migration technique in which the periosteum of hard tissue A-point circumferential attachment was shifted anteriorly, thereby preventing the return of soft tissue. Results:The following changes with respect to preoperative findings were noted 5 months postsurgery: facial convexity from 3.3 degrees to 7.6 degrees; nasolabial angle from 74 degrees to 90.2 degrees; true horizontal line from 50 degrees to 73 degrees; and subnasale-Pog' to the upper lip from 6.5 mm to 4.7 mm. This resulted in an improved midface retraction. Conclusion:The Point A-Koji method may be an ideal method to improve the midface retraction in patients.

“…16 In 2014, nearly half of all aesthetic patients in the US who requested MIPs received multiple procedures. 4 Indeed, combination treatments offer an optimal response to the multifactorial process of facial ageing, which involves structural changes in all anatomical layers (bone, muscles, ligaments, adipose tissue, and skin) and dynamic interactions among these tissues. 2,17,18 Consequently, the modern concept of natural and harmonious rejuvenation is based on a comprehensive, threedimensional, multi-layered approach, combining multiple agents and techniques to attain multiple goals such as relaxation, volumisation, volume repositioning, reshaping, resurfacing, or tightening, depending on specific patient needs.…”

“…3 In this context, the use of minimally invasive procedures (MIPs) increased strongly by +228% growth rate between years 2018 and 2000 in the US, 3 and MIPs represent now nearly 90% of aesthetic interventions. 4 They aim to attain optimal results with minimal invasiveness, faster recovery, reduced scarring, limited stress, and better patient satisfaction. 5 They include a wide range of injectable agents, devices, and techniques, each being performed in precise indications.…”

Background: Combinations of minimally invasive procedures (MIPs) are often used in aesthetic treatments and are increasingly considered as the new standard of care. Three agents with specific properties are available in this perspective: a polycaprolactone (PCL)based collagen stimulator, a poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA)-and a poly-glycolic acid (PLGA)based resorbable suspension suture with a 3D-cone technology, and a cross-linked hyaluronic acid (HA). Objective: To develop the first practice guidelines on rejuvenation treatment of the face and the neck using combinations of these agents, whether associated or not with other widely used MIPs such as botulinum neurotoxins or energy-based devices. Methods: A multidisciplinary , multinational board of plastic surgeons and dermatologists convened to develop guidelines using a predefined consensus method. The consensus was defined as ≥83% agreement rate between participants. Results: Practice guidelines and algorithms, describing optimal procedure sequence and spacing, are proposed for the treatment of upper-, mid-, lower-face and neck, combining the PCL collagen stimulator, the PLLA/PLGA suspension sutures, and the cross-linked HA, whether associated or not with other MIPs. Conclusion: These new guidelines provide general support to optimal management strategies. Individual treatment plans should be adapted according to the physician's individual competence and the patient's preferences.
