Facial rejuvenation through volumizing injections:
The topic is of great importance given that the fight against aging is not just a trivial question of fashion but is essential to an individual’s well-being and social relationships.
By performing serial dissections layer by layer, we have identified safe areas as well as potential hazards. This approach seemed necessary to determine the relationships between the various anatomical planes into which inject fillers.
An essential part of this approach is detailed analysis of the different fat compartments which play such an important part in age-related changes to the face.
Our work was completed by the dissection of muscles and septa, as well as the identification of their relationship with the fat compartments.
Therefore, facial aging can no longer be exclusively attributed to the consequences of slippage of the various layers under the influence of gravity, as used to be believed.
“From the first timid filling in of wrinkles barely twenty years ago, through focused filling treatments and ultimately global injection of the whole face, the journey has been long and sometimes difficult but always full of lessons.
Many different products have been used. Some turned out of have a short lifetime and others had adverse effects, serious ones in some cases. Finally, one compound emerged from the pack and now all experts agree on its efficacy; that compound is hyaluronic acid.” Philippe Garcia, MD
