Nonsurgical reshaping of the nose, chin, and jawline : A retrospective analysis using experience-based eligibility criteria

© 2021 Wiley Periodicals LLC..

BACKGROUND: Nonsurgical reshaping of the nose, chin, and jawline with hyaluronic acid fillers is becoming increasingly popular. Appropriate patient selection is essential.

OBJECTIVES: To assess the safety and efficacy of nonsurgical treatment of these facial areas using experience-based eligibility criteria and injection of the high G' filler, VYC-25L.

METHODS: This was a retrospective analysis of patients undergoing aesthetic improvement of the nose, chin, and/or jawline with VYC-25L, selected based on detailed criteria derived from extensive experience and imaging assessments. In a subgroup of subjects, high-resolution 3D imaging was used to assess nasal angles, nasal hump height, and chin projection.

RESULTS: A total of 135 patients were included (n = 106 females; mean age, 43.4 ± 14.3 years; n = 44 nose treatment only, n = 24 chin/jawline only, n = 67 both). Mean treatment volume was 3.3 ± 2.0 ml. In total, 111 individuals (82.2%) were injected in the nose (mean volume: 0.9 ± 0.2 ml) and 91 (67.4%) in the chin/jawline (mean volume: 3.8 ± 0.8 ml). Most complications were injection site-related (bruising, n = 27 [20.0%]; pain, n = 1 [0.7%]). One patient (0.7%) experienced lip herpes, successfully managed with antiviral therapy. Thirty-two individuals underwent 3D imaging, which showed substantial mean changes from baseline in nasofrontal angle (3.5 ± 1.6 degrees), nasofacial angle (2.2 ± 0.8 degrees), and nasolabial angle (3.9 ± 2.6 degrees); decreases in nasal hump height (1.7 ± 0.9 mm); and increased chin projection (2.7 ± 1.5 mm).

CONCLUSIONS: Nonsurgical reshaping of the nose, chin, and jawline was safe and effective using experience-based eligibility criteria and VYC-25L.
