Frontoplasty Technique for the Mestizo Patient

Ethnic groups can be differentiated through certain anatomical characteristics, including the morphological features of their skulls. Little information is available on the craniofacial measures of the Mestizo face. Over time, the upper third of the Mestizo face can develop a greater frontal concavity of the forehead, making the eyebrows drop and giving the face a more masculine appearance. Understanding the skeletal and vascular anatomy of this population group is the foundation for proper aesthetic rejuvenation of the upper third of the face. The purpose of this article is to present an advanced injection technique utilizing a low-viscosity and low-G prime filler to correct exaggerated frontal concavity. Using just 1 to 2mL of product, patients can be safely treated with a high satisfaction rate and a cosmetic result capable of lasting up to three years.
