Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to characterize subcutaneous fat thickness in a diverse group of patients using high-resolution ultrasound (HRUS) and to explore its correlation with body image.
- Women presented thicker subcutaneous fat than men across all measured areas, while Asian individuals had less fat in peripheral regions compared to Black and Other racial groups.
- Findings could help clinicians in selecting patients for fat reduction treatments and managing conditions related to changes in fat thickness.
Importance: Soft-tissue augmentation with skin fillers can be delivered with needles or microcannulas, but unwanted vascular occlusions are possible.
Objective: To determine whether filler-associated vascular occlusion events of the face occur more often with injections performed with needles than with microcannulas.
Design, Setting, And Participants: This retrospective cohort study included a random sample of board-certified dermatologists deemed eligible based on membership in relevant professional societies and attendance at relevant national professional meetings.
