AI Article Synopsis
- Soft tissue fillers are commonly used to address volume loss in the chin due to aging and congenital conditions.
- The study involved scanning 40 cadaver heads to analyze arterial anatomy and reduce risks of complications like intravascular embolization during filler injections.
- Findings indicated a higher presence of superficial arteries compared to deep ones, leading to recommendations for safer chin filler injection techniques that enhance patient satisfaction.
Article Abstract
Background: Soft tissue fillers have been widely used for the correction of chin volume loss because of congenital conditions and aging.
Objective: This study aimed to discuss anatomical concerns for chin filler injections, which may help to reduce the incidence of severe intravascular embolization complications and improve patient satisfaction.
Methods And Materials: We scanned 40 cadaveric heads with a contrast agent using a 64-row spiral computed tomography scanner. The scan was visualized by a Philips IntelliSpace workstation and analyzed by Materialise's interactive m image control system software to measure and quantify the arterial data. Twenty of 40 cadavers were dissected to define the layers of tissue.
Results: In total, 221 arteries passed through the sagittal plane of 40 specimens. The number of superficial arteries (163 of 221) was much greater than the number of deep arteries (58 of 221). The number of arteries gradually decreased with distance from the lower lip vermilion border plane, which formed the lower third of the face.
Conclusion: This study introduces a safe and effective technique for administering chin filler injections that minimizes risks and improves patient satisfaction.

Objective: To determine the effect of the nose and chin on the cephalometric lip profile.
Methods And Material: The pre-treatment lateral cephalograms of 177 adult patients with no history of orthodontic treatment were manually traced. The sample size was divided into three vertical and horizontal groups using angle ANB and MMA to assess the difference in nose and chin forms.

Background: Among several skin fillers developed in recent decades, hyaluronic acid (HA) is a widely used filler for face contouring and is generally believed to be safe, long-lasting, not immunogenic, and cost-effective. However, early and delayed complications can also occur following HA filler injection. Unfortunately, there have been reports of HA-related bone erosion in the chin area without clear scientific data regarding its existence and incidence.
