Anatomy-based Filler Injection: Diagnosis to Treatment Techniques for the Glabellar Region.

J Craniofac Surg

Glabellar filler injections are a popular non-surgical approach to address depressions and wrinkles caused by aging, muscle activity, and soft tissue loss. An anatomy-based technique emphasizes understanding the complex structure of the glabellar region, including the corrugator supercilii and procerus muscles, and the superficial vascular pathways, such as the supratrochlear and supraorbital arteries. Effective treatment involves precise filler placement, often combined with botulinum toxin to address both volume loss and dynamic wrinkles.

Article Synopsis
  • The study focuses on an 8-year-old Labrador dog that suffered from degenerative skeletal changes after being involved in a road traffic accident, eventually leading to its death despite medical interventions.
  • Researchers conducted a CT scan on the dog’s humerus and discovered osteophytes, or bone spurs, that formed a almost complete ring structure, which suggested issues related to joint mobility.
  • During the dissection of the bones, they found a thin membrane covering the supratrochlear foramen that the CT scan did not detect, indicating limitations in imaging techniques for identifying certain soft tissue abnormalities.

Ultrasound assisted hyaluronic acid vascular adverse event management based on the vascular anatomy.

Hyaluronic acid (HA) non-surgical procedures are increasingly popular, with approximately 5.6 million performed annually by plastic surgeons worldwide. These treatments effectively address signs of aging in the forehead and nasofrontal areas but come with risks such as bruising, swelling, infections, inflammation, granulomas, skin necrosis, and vascular obstructions.

Article Synopsis
  • Aesthetic neuromodulator injections, commonly used to reduce upper facial wrinkles, can lead to a condition called blepharoptosis (drooping eyelids) in about 0.51% to 5.4% of cases.
  • * The study analyzed injections in 18 supraorbital regions of nine human body donors to uncover how neuromodulators travel from outside to inside the orbit, impacting the levator palpebrae superioris muscle.
  • * Findings revealed that a higher injection volume (0.5 cc) was linked to 19.44% of cases affecting eyelid elevation, suggesting that lower volumes and proper injection techniques could enhance safety during aesthetic treatments.*

Article Synopsis
  • - Forehead flatness is common in Korean people, and injecting hyaluronic acid (HA) filler is a simple way to create volume, but there are no clear guidelines for this process, making knowledge of blood vessel anatomy essential to prevent complications
  • - The study involved using Doppler ultrasound to map facial arteries in 34 patients before HA injections to establish proper guidelines for safe forehead augmentation
  • - The results showed that the ultrasound technique allowed the authors to successfully identify and avoid main blood vessels, leading to no vascular complications in the patients after receiving an average of 2.85 mL of HA filler
