Injection technique inspired by make-up artistry outlined in journal

A paper has been published in the Aesthetic Plastic Surgery Journal outlining a new approach to cheek volume restoration that has been inspired by make-up artistry.

The paper, entitled ‘A Novel and More Aesthetic Injection Pattern for Malar Cheek Volume Restoration’, described a new injection pattern for restoring facial contours with hyaluronic acid dermal fillers, which includes greater superolateral positioning of injection sites.

The technique is said to help injectors avoid creating an excess of volume in the anterior portion of the malar complex. Contributing authors and injectors, who now use this technique exclusively, claim it has provided optimal aesthetic results for hundreds of patients with no observables complications. The malar cheek contributes much to the aesthetic curvature of the face and the authors say the new technique helps achieve a greater aesthetic outcome in the correction of midface contour deficiencies, which consistently results in high patient satisfaction.
