Composite Volumization of the Aging Face: Supra-Periosteal Space as the Foundation for Optimal Facial Rejuvenation
Abstract:
Current concepts of facial aging propose that volume losses of bone and fat in specific compartmentalized areas are the primary and the most important causes of the characteristic changes seen in the aging face. The authors propose that the use of Radiesse in the supra-periosteal space of the temple, zygomatic arch, anterior cheek, pyriform aperture, and pre-jowl sulcus most effectively and most efficiently corrects these volume losses, and therefore best helps to restore a youthful appearance. Placement of filler directly on bone produces a lifting effect on all of the overlying tissues as a single unit which the authors term "composite volumization".

Sutures of the Skull
Sutures are immobile joints between adjacent bones of the skull. The narrow gap between the bones is filled with dense, fibrous connective tissue that unites the bones. The long sutures located between the skull bones are not straight but instead follow irregular, tightly twisting paths. These twisting lines tightly...
