Recontorno do terço médio e inferior da face com ácido hialurônico : relato de caso clínico

Abstract

Introduction: Culturally, there are specific facial patterns for females and males, which can be corrected with facial fillers. As we age, the production of hyaluronic acid (HA) decreases in the skin, as well as bone remodeling and replacement of fat pads. To return such lost volume, you can opt for HA-based fillers, which are capable of remodeling the patient's face, restoring aesthetic harmony to the thirds of the face. Objectives: This study aims to describe a clinical case treated with HA in the contouring of the middle and lower third of the face, restoring better aesthetics and self-esteem to the patient. Case report: Male patient, 22 years old, sought a private dental clinic with the aim of an evaluation for face restructuring. The patient was clinically evaluated and the need for harmonization of the middle and lower thirds of the face was noted. The treatment option with an AH-based filler was presented, with Voluma and Volux, from the Allergan brand (France), being chosen. After that, the fillers were applied in a single session, using one syringe of Volux and two of Voluma (1 mL each syringe). The procedure was performed uneventfully, demonstrating satisfactory results after a 12-month postoperative follow-up. Final consideration: Because it is biocompatible, HA becomes safe and effective for use in harmonizing the middle and lower third of the face. In addition to providing comfort to the patient, it results in desired aesthetic aspects and restores self-esteem to the individual. In this sense, knowledge of facial anatomy and the safety of which filler will be used by the professional is essential.
