Facial sculpting is now achievable non-surgically using soft tissue fillers injected subdermally. These modern fillers offer natural-looking results for brow-lifts, cheek-lifts, and lip augmentation, providing a "lunchtime" rejuvenation option.

Area of Science:

  • Aesthetic Medicine
  • Dermatology
  • Cosmetic Surgery

Background:

  • Traditionally, deep facial sculpting relied on surgical methods.
  • Advances in dermal and subdermal fillers have expanded non-surgical facial contouring options.
  • Increased appreciation for volume restoration in facial rejuvenation.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To explore the efficacy of soft tissue fillers for non-surgical facial sculpting.
  • To highlight the benefits of subdermal injection techniques.
  • To discuss the application of fillers for various facial areas.

Main Methods:

  • Utilizing modern soft tissue augmenting agents for facial rejuvenation.
  • Employing subdermal injection planes for enhanced facial support.

  • Targeting specific facial areas including brows, cheeks, lips, and perioral regions.

    • Main Results:

    • Achieved 'instant' facial sculpting with brow-lifts, cheek-lifts, and lip augmentation.
    • Observed softer, more natural results compared to surgical overcorrections.
    • Demonstrated the possibility of combining filler treatments with other procedures like botulinum toxin.

    Conclusions:

    • Subdermal filler injections enable 'lunchtime' facial sculpting.
    • Biodegradable, long-lasting fillers offer temporary or ongoing rejuvenation.
    • Non-biodegradable fillers are an option for specific cases like HIV-related lipoatrophy or long-term results.
