An approach to structural facial rejuvenation with fillers in women.

ABSTRACT: Newer understanding of volume loss as a critical component of facial aging and the integration of volume replacement into the surgical and nonsurgical therapeutic algorithm is arguably the most significant recent development in the field of facial rejuvenation. As all structural tissues play a role in the aging face, restoring youthful characteristics (or establishing them where they are congenitally absent) starts from the skeletal framework and builds progressively to the canvas of the face. The purpose of this article is to provide an introduction and brief summary of some of the current concepts concerning facial anatomy and the anatomy of facial aging, which serve as the basis for predictable and reproducible results with the use of injectable fillers. This article does not include the various types of fillers or techniques of filler injection, but covers how to decide where to use the filler and why, in different faces, as a result of the recognition and targeted correction of currently recognized specific anatomic deficiencies.

Project description:BackgroundPatients often seek aesthetic correction of facial deficiencies (e.g., lines and folds) that are rarely the underlying cause of dissatisfaction with their appearance. Use of a more holistic approach focused on improving the emotional messages of the face (e.g., looking less sad) may improve patient satisfaction with treatment outcomes. The MD Codes™ system was developed to increase clinician success rates by reducing variability in the technical aspects of hyaluronic acid (HA) filler treatment and focusing on addressing unfavorable emotional attributes of the face.MethodsThe MD Codes, or medical codes, represent specific anatomical subunits for injection of HA fillers. Each MD Code includes information regarding the target depth of injection, the proper delivery tool (needle or cannula) and delivery technique (e.g., aliquot, bolus, fanning), and the minimum product volume recommended to achieve visible, reproducible results (active number). During treatment planning, the appropriate MD Codes are selected using algorithms focused on lessening unfavorable facial attributes (a saggy, tired, sad, or angry look) and enhancing positive attributes (an attractive, younger, more contoured, or feminine [soft] or masculine look).ResultsThree case studies are presented to illustrate how the MD Codes and their algorithms were used to address sagginess, tiredness, and sadness in two women and one man.ConclusionsMD Codes provide a universal symbolic language for reducing variability in injection technique. The platform provides user-friendly algorithms to help clinicians increase patient satisfaction by going beyond treatment of lines and folds and to focus on reducing unfavorable facial attributes.Level of evidence ivThis journal requires that authors assign a level of evidence to each article.
