    Area of Science:

    • Plastic Surgery
    • Aesthetic Medicine

    Background:

    • Patients seek alternatives to complex surgeries and costly temporary injectables for facial shape dissatisfaction.
    • Various facial aesthetic concerns include gauntness, length, heaviness, asymmetry, and midface retrusion.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To describe less invasive methods for facial reshaping.
    • To address a range of facial aesthetic concerns and modifications.

    Main Methods:

    • Fat grafting for cheekbone augmentation, midface retrusion, and asymmetry.
    • Lipoplasty and buccal lipectomy for lower face fullness.
    • Facial implants for enhanced projection.
    • Skin-tightening facelift for neck laxity.

    Main Results:

    • Fat grafting effectively addressed gaunt faces and improved facial length.
    • Lipoplasty and buccal lipectomy improved contour in bottom-heavy and chubby faces.
    • Implants provided added facial projection, and facelifts addressed neck laxity.

    Conclusions:

    • Less invasive techniques provide effective facial reshaping options.
    • These methods offer reduced downtime and fewer morbidities compared to traditional surgeries.
