Simple procedure to evaluate mid‐face sagging: A pilot study from Taiwan

Abstract: An easy and objective way to evaluate mid-face sagging is marking straight lines between the nasal alar and the mandibular angle, one in the supine and the other in an upright position. The maximal distance between the two lines drawn is measured. Statistic analyses shows that this maximum distance demonstrates positive correlation with age and body mass index that reflects the level of mid-face sagging. This simple method may be utilised to evaluate the effect of anti-ageing treatment on the face in the conte… Show more

“…2 A recent study evaluating skin sagging as a sign of aging found a significant reduction in facial elasticity after the age of 50 in patients with skin type III and IV. 10 The results from our study revealed that higher percentage of patients (more than 50%) who were 50 years and older showed clinically meaningful improvement from one session of therapy in terms of wrinkle improvement than those who were younger (less than 20%). This may be due to a difference in the baseline skin quality between the two age groups, with the older group having poorer baseline skin quality and hence, having a higher potential of obtaining improvement after just one session of treatment.…”
