Facial fold and groove formation is influenced by the ptosis of the superficial fat compartments in the mid-face region.
This study aimed to design a facial rejuvenation technique that targets sagging of the mid-face fat compartments and achieves a youthful facial configuration.
A total of 102 patients underwent suture net restoration. Each specific ptosis fat compartment was carefully lifted and held at the regional facial ligaments to effectively restore volume distribution. Patient outcomes were evaluated through preoperative and postoperative photography comparison, 3-D photographic analysis, and postoperative evaluations.
Significant mid-cheek rejuvenation was observed. The procedure resulted in a remarkable, 10.89% increase in malar projection. The nasolabial fold improved by at least 1 grade in 61.43% of the patients and by at least 2 grades in 37.14%. A total of 87.65% of the patients expressed high satisfaction or satisfaction with the outcomes of the procedure.
By specifically targeting the mid-face ptosis fat compartments, the technique demonstrated significant enhancements of both the nasolabial fold and the malar projection. The results indicate that this novel technique holds promise as an efficient approach for satisfactorily addressing facial aging concerns.
面部褶皱和凹槽的形成受中面部浅层脂肪隔下垂的影响。
本研究旨在设计一种针对中面部脂肪隔下垂的面部年轻化技术，以达到年轻的面部轮廓。
共 102 例患者接受缝线网修复。每个特定的下垂脂肪隔都被仔细提起并固定在区域面部韧带处，以有效恢复体积分布。通过术前和术后摄影比较、3D 摄影分析和术后评估来评估患者的结果。
明显观察到中脸颊年轻化。该手术可使颊部突出度显著增加 10.89%。61.43%的患者鼻唇沟至少改善 1 级，37.14%的患者至少改善 2 级。87.65%的患者对手术结果表示高度满意或满意。
通过专门针对中面部下垂脂肪隔，该技术显著增强了鼻唇沟和颊部突出度。结果表明，这种新技术作为一种有效解决面部老化问题的方法具有很大的潜力。
