Subzygoma: Treatment Techniques and Results
Description
The presentation discusses subzygoma injections aimed at reducing sharp facial features and enhancing the overall aesthetic harmony of a patient's face. The speaker outlines their approach to treatment, focusing on addressing deep hollows under the zygomatic arch, which can create an overly chiseled look. Using a 25-gauge cannula, they emphasize the importance of carefully mapping the target areas by observing light and shadows, and then utilize a technique of laying thin threads of filler to create a lifting effect while navigating through fibrous tissues. The procedure aims to soften the patient's features, making them appear less angular and more blended. The speaker notes that this technique is particularly sought after by older patients with facial volume loss and younger Asian patients seeking a heart-shaped face. The before and after results reveal a subtle, yet effective transformation that enhances the facial silhouette without being overly dramatic.
Conclusions

- The procedure creates a subtle blending of facial features, making them appear less angular and more cohesive.
- The use of a 25 gauge cannula allows for even distribution of filler in the targeted area.
- Techniques involve creating a lattice network under the skin to elevate the surface evenly without discomfort.
- Results show improvement in aesthetics, particularly for patients desiring a softer, heart-shaped facial appearance.
