Novel Forehead Augmentation Strategy

What is it about?

The injection of soft tissue calcium hydroxyapatite fillers addresses forehead aging, depressions and wrinkles by raising the eyebrows, softening eyebrow heaviness, and enhancing facial profiles. Using soft tissue fillers causes fewer adverse events and patients recover more quickly than with surgical facelifts. To avoid pain, blood vessel injections or nerve damage, fillers can be mixed with lidocaine before injection, or anesthetic solutions can be injected first. Both techniques can be used to separate tissues in the forehead area, however the former method may not reduce pain well if insufficient time is allowed for the anesthesia to take effect. I have thus created a forehead volumization technique involving the injection of a tumescent solution first, which creates a pocket of space within the forehead tissue for filler placement. Importantly, it also allows the physician to check for vessel damage if signs of bleeding are visible. By minimizing the number of injection points and avoiding the areas containing vessels and nerves, this technique reduces risks further. To ensure that patients receive a treatment that is customized to their unique facial profiles, I have also created five different forehead contour categories, based on the severity, shape and amount of volume loss observed. _x000D_ My technique allows filler injection with less force and dilution, thus preserving its properties while increasing safety, minimising pain and restoring facial convexity and curvatures.
