Objective: To develop a clinical technique for objective estimation of exact location and degree of participation of face and neck soft tissues in age-related deformations for determine effective mini-invasive treatment techniques. Methods: Ultrasound examination was performed in 2017-2019 at 63 patients with age-related face changes. Examination was done in the vertical position for determine the role, exact location and participation degree of different soft tissues of the face and neck in age-related changes. Results: Great diagnostic value of ultrasound examination of involutional changes in soft tissues of lower third of face and neck was noted to determine all causes of contour age-related deformities. These results were used to choose effective minimally invasive methods for correction. Conclusion: Ultrasound examination is a non-invasive, harmless, clinically available, inexpensive examination that allows to determine exact localization and degree of participation of different soft tissues of face and neck in age-related changes. That is very important for planning and use different minimally invasive techniques for facial and neck rejuvenation. doi: https://doi.org/10.12669/pjms.37.1.3034 How to cite this:Sharobaro V, Alimova S, Telnova A, Shamanaeva L.

“…Color Doppler and spectral analysis may be added in order to facilitate the visualization of the small facial arteries, and depth measurements may allow a detailed local analysis of (a small part of) the vessel (Figure 1). However, US cannot visualize a wide area, nor the complex 3D structure of the vasculature, it is operator‐dependent and also very time‐consuming 13 . The branches of the facial arteries show tortuous courses along different planes and in all directions, and they have slow flow rates.…”

Background As the face is known for its extreme variation in vascular anatomy and the number of filler‐associated complications due to intra‐arterial injection is increasing, we are in need of a method to visualize anyone’s individual arterial anatomy of the face in a completely harmless way. Aims The different medical imaging methods and a recently developed MRA protocol are reviewed. Methods The literature of the last twenty years—with special attention for the last five years—concerning the different medical imaging modalities of the facial arteries was reviewed. Results A harmless visualisation of the facial arteries is currently only possible with US or MRA. US may identify single vessels but never the complete arterial network. A combination of IR “heat enhancement” and a MRA 3D‐TOF sequence might make it feasible to visualize a large number of facial arteries in a risk‐free, radiation‐free, contrast‐free and non‐invasive way. Conclusion Currently, a new combination of IR “heat enhancement” and a MRA 3D‐TOF sequence might be the only method to visualize a large number of facial arteries.

“…Diagnostically, ultrasound imaging has proven to be useful in reconstructive surgery for identification of perforators for a variety of flaps, 3 – 10 including the anterolateral thigh flap, 3 – 5 and the deep inferior epigastric perforator flap. 6 , 7 Visconti et al 11 routinely use color Doppler ultrasound when planning lymphaticovenular anastomoses.…”
