Area of Science:

  • Aesthetic medicine
  • Facial anatomy
  • Cosmetic procedures

Background:

  • Comprehensive facial assessment is essential for optimal outcomes in dermal filler and neurotoxin treatments.
  • Accurate analysis of facial features is crucial for predictable aesthetic results.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To introduce a systematic method for facial assessment prior to cosmetic injections.
  • To provide a guideline for capturing key details during facial analysis.

Main Methods:

  • The A.S.S.E.S.S. acronym (animate, shape, side, external, symmetry, shadows) was developed to simplify facial assessment.
  • A six-step method using the A.S.S.E.S.S. acronym guides the analysis of facial shape, profile, and curves in static and dynamic states.

Main Results:

  • Implementing the A.S.S.E.S.S. approach provides a clear framework for evaluating patients undergoing filler and neurotoxin treatments.
  • This methodical approach aids in achieving desired facial shapes and profiles.

Conclusions:

  • The A.S.S.E.S.S. stepwise assessment offers a logical and detailed strategy for analyzing facial features.
  • This method ensures critical facial details are considered for reliable and aesthetically pleasing results in cosmetic procedures.
