Functional and Morphological Prevention of the Central and Lower Face

A 37-year-old patient presenting with hypercontraction of the chin, lip pursing, and insufficient support of the upper lip. Support and subtle rehydration were provided using hyaluronic acid discreetly applied to the lips and marionette lines. Relaxation was achieved with botulinum toxins on the chin muscles and the depressors of the corners of the mouth. The goal here is to provide functional and morphological prevention of the central and lower part of the face.

Prevention of Morphological and Functional Facial Changes

Beautiful 38-year-old patient wishing to prevent morphological and functional changes in her face. She shows a lack of support under the lower eyelid as well as around the mouth. There is also early lateral eyelid closure and hypercontractions of the peri-orbital and peri-oral muscles. Preventive measures were taken using hyaluronic acid to support the under-eye area, the nasolabial folds, and the marionette lines, as well as botulinum toxin to prevent peri-orificial hypercontractions, thereby opening up the upper gaze and horizontalizing the mouth. Botulinum toxin injections should be administered twice a year for optimal results, while hyaluronic acid injections generally last between one and a half to two years. Radiant 46-year-old patient

Correction of Support Loss in the Lower Third of the Face

This is a 47-year-old patient with a lack of support in the lower third of the face, particularly in the chin and the lower corners of the mouth. These losses of support, exacerbated by time, lead to hyper-contraction of the peri-oral muscles, particularly the orbicularis oris muscle, which pinches the mouth, and the mentalis muscle, which rolls the chin upward and creates a crease between the mouth and the chin. Additionally, the depressor muscles of the outer corners (ends of the lips), as their name suggests, pull the corners of the mouth downward, creating marionette lines.

Providing support in these areas with hyaluronic acid, combined with relaxing these areas with slight injections of botulinum toxin, helps restore a more aesthetic and functional peri-oral region. The goal of these injections, as usual, is prevention.

Facial Aesthetic Prevention

Prevention in facial aesthetics involves a deeper anatomical perspective that is more adapted to the passage of time. It is essential, and sometimes challenging, to avoid focusing on a single detail and instead observe the face and neck as a whole. Thorough discussions and mutual understanding are also crucial phases for comprehensive care, aiming to achieve the most natural result possible.

The prevention strategy implemented with this patient over the years includes:

-  Relaxing certain muscles with botulinum toxin, especially the masticatory muscles and certain depressor muscles of the face and neck.
- Supporting areas of weakness such as dark circles and areas of skin fragility like the nasolabial folds.
- Applying sunscreen daily.
- Avoiding intervention on areas of strength, such as well-defined cheekbones.

Facial Rejuvenation with Hyaluronic Acid Injections

Surgery is not always necessary to restore support to the face. Here, two sessions of hyaluronic acid injections were performed at two-year intervals, treating the face holistically each time.

Firm hyaluronic acids combat the downward vector of the face, which can lead to emotional or physical distress. Injections are useful for both treating and preventing facial and neck aging, as well as maintaining their functions.

Feeling good in your skin and aging gracefully go hand in hand.

Rebalancing Lips with Hyaluronic Acid Injections

In some patients, there is an imbalance between the upper and lower lip ratios. It is possible to add more volume to one lip compared to the other while respecting the natural shape of the lips.

For this young patient, the goal was to achieve a "natural" aesthetic result by adding more volume to the upper lip while hydrating both the upper and lower lips.

Please note that immediately after the procedure, the lips may be slightly swollen and small bruises may appear. The final result can be evaluated after two weeks.

Rhinoplasty for Men

Rhinoplasty is a solution for men who wish to correct defects in their nose, whether congenital or post-traumatic, with or without breathing difficulties. Preservation anatomical rhinoplasty is a minimally invasive, well-mastered, and reliable technique. It is tailored to each patient to achieve an optimal aesthetic, functional, and personalized result. The result shown here is observed after one and a half years.
