Hyaluronic High Definition Fill Technique.

Area of Science:

• Aesthetic Medicine
• Minimally Invasive Procedures
• Dermatology

Background:

• Traditional surgical methods for abdominal definition, such as liposuction and abdominoplasty, carry risks and require significant recovery time.
• Hyaluronic acid (HA) body filling presents a minimally invasive alternative for abdominal contouring, offering immediate aesthetic enhancement and reduced downtime.

Purpose of the Study:

• To evaluate the efficacy and safety of the high-definition abdomen through HA technique (HHD) for aesthetic abdominal enhancement in young men.
• To assess patient satisfaction and outcomes using the Global Aesthetic Improvement Scale (GAIS).

Main Methods:

• The HHD technique was applied to young men (BMI < 24.9) using large particle HA gel (800-1800 μm) with high G prime.
• Ultrasound guidance was utilized for precise injections into the lamellar fat layer, targeting abdominal metameres.
• Patient outcomes were assessed using the Global Aesthetic Improvement Scale (GAIS).

Main Results:

• The HHD technique successfully enhanced abdominal metamere definition, yielding satisfactory aesthetic outcomes.
• Mild post-procedural hematomas and transient discomfort were the primary adverse events.
• At 10 months, 71.4% of patients reported 'much improved' and 28.6% reported 'improved' per the GAIS.

Conclusions:

• High-definition abdomen using large particle HA is an effective method for aesthetic abdominal enhancement, offering minimal risks and downtime.
• Customization of HA properties and ultrasound guidance ensure safe and precise injections, minimizing complications.
• The HHD technique improves patient satisfaction and self-esteem, though further research is needed for broader applications.
