Injection techniques for midface volumization using soft tissue hyaluronic acid fillers designed for dynamic facial movement

Abstract

Rejuvenating the aging face is one of the great challenges in the field of aesthetic dermatology, and volume reflation is essential to improve aesthetic outcomes. [1][2][3] Volume reflation and volume enhancement can alter facial contours and balance to counteract the effects of aging. 2 Midface volumization is of particular importance, as the midface has a considerable impact on how one looks, especially since people tend to look at other people just below the eyes. 4 Well-contoured and balanced fullness in the midface exemplifies a

Introducing an esthetic treatment of malocclusion: Ultrasound‐assisted augmentation of premaxilla with injectable hyaluronic acid filler

“…9 Correction of esthetic issues due to structural face imperfections is one of the neglected areas which can be successfully obtained by the mentioned advancements. The focus of the esthetic procedures is commonly on facial rejuvenation and volumization, 1,2,4,5 and there is a paucity of evidence regarding esthetic treatment of face structural problems. Most young clients that request for esthetic face treatments are cases with structural imperfections and have not lost tissue due to aging.…”

“…Such cases usually benefit from augmentation of their structural deficiencies with a small amount of appropriate dermal fillers. 5 In this paper, we will describe a new ultrasoundassisted method for cosmetic correction of malocclusion with injectable filler in a young patient. This report addresses the current gap in the practice of esthetic medicine: "Outcomes of deep filler injection in the correction of the appearance of people with facial structural insufficiency".…”

“…1,2 Employing tailored and layering methods of injection instead of the traditional superficial and predefined "onepoint fits to all" injection methods is one of the promising advancements in the face esthetic treatment by injectable fillers. [3][4][5] The layering injection technique addresses deep layers at first and if such deep injection does not result in the desired outcomes, it can be proceeded by injecting in more superficial layers. This method can lead to more natural long-lasting results and avoid superficial overfilling.…”

“…This method can lead to more natural long-lasting results and avoid superficial overfilling. 5 Good knowledge of the face anatomy, selection of a dermal filler with the appropriate rheological properties, and ultrasound assistance (for the assessment of various face layers, selection of the appropriate injection devices and avoiding complications) are key elements that can increase the efficiency and safety of all esthetic filler injection techniques. [6][7][8] With the developments of the products and procedures as well as ultrasound usage in esthetic medicine, many cosmetic treatments that could not have been done without surgery previously, now can be achieved by nonsurgical methods.…”
