A Unified Approach to Facial Contours and Volume Correction: The Role of the Cheek and the Chin.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Facial proportions and contours influence perceptions of beauty and youthfulness. In particular, the shape and definition of the midface and lower face impact the overall appearance of the face.

Methods

This review provides anatomical evidence to support a holistic approach to facial analysis and rejuvenation that starts with assessment and treatment of the midface and lower face to create an aesthetically desirable facial balance.

Results

The cheek and chin can be considered "anchors" or starting points within full-face treatment because of the noticeable impact of their treatment on the definition and contour of the entire face. Age-related changes in the cheek and chin affect overall facial appearance and can produce unintended facial emotional attribute
